It is highlight color. Both Open Office Writer and Microsoft Word use 
this term to define the action of changing the background color of the 
selected text. Open Office has in fact both: background color affects 
the entire line not just the selected text as it happens with highlight 
color; and you can apply both at the same time: highlight color has 
priority.

IMO background color is more generic (or vague) than highlight color so 
I don't think there is a contradiction between these terms (although for 
Open Office they have different meanings). That's why I didn't change 
the key. I could do it but then I guess I should also update the class, 
method, field or variable names to reflect this changed, which is a 
pain. Also, the feature is call backcolor so I should change it too and 
then the documentation. The reason for the tooltip change was just to 
make it more specific.

Thanks,
Marius
