Well, no, because you can't choose a text selection colour that's dark or close to the text colour, or the text will not be legible when selected. And given that there are many possible text colours and only one selection colour, there's no way to choose a selection colour that works with every possible text colour. The only way to make that work is to change the text colour if necessary when it's highlighted, and this is typically done by inversion (though it needn't be; other methods could be used). I think one important thing to keep in mind is that one shouldn't simply change the selected text colour under all circumstances; as I noted earlier, it depends on the relative intensities and hues of the text and highlight colours. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
