Dear Zach, I forwarded your question to our developer mailing list, since "sa...@lists.spline.de" is for purely internal affairs only (that's not your fault, we're still working on correcting all the misleading references).
As it happens, I think I'm capable of solving your problem directly, so here we go: The setting you are looking for is not specifically Saros related and is therefore not located in Saros' own preferences. Saros uses so called "Annotations" for highlighting your partners' activities and contributions. Simply open your Eclipse Preferences ("Window" > "Preferences") and navigate to "General" > "Editors" > "Text Editors" > "Annotations" (or enter "Annotations" in the search field in the upper left corner). The list of "Annotation types" should contain several entries with the "DPP" prefix. If you want to disable the highlighting of your partners' selections, click the corresponding entry (e.g. "DPP Selection of buddy 1") and uncheck the box next to "Text as [Highlighted]" -- you may want to repeat this step for all five buddies. The same goes for the "contributions" (that portion of source code someone authored). I hope this resolves your issue and you keep enjoying Saros.

Although this is not a serious issue, I would like to disable this if at all possible. Is there a way to disable the highlighting feature of saros ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
