Allan,
You are right about "referring to the background colour of the selected
transaction."
The version is 4.6.3, using KDE Development Platform 4.10.5, according
to "About My KMyMoney" under "Help."
Selection Text Color Background changes don't seem to to anything to the
text within the green highlight box. I've tried but the text in the
ledger, in the box, remains white inside the green.
Just before you move on, and to be sure there's no misunderstanding, as
you said "Selection Text Color Background changes don't seem to to
anything to the
text [it should not change the text colour, just the background] within
the green highlight box.", there are two settings, one for background
and another for the text colour. Try changing the background colour,
exit Settings, the restart KMM and see if that colour change has been
picked up. If that works, now try the text colour. If still wrong,
would you set out, step by step, all your actions. Sorry to be
pedantic, but this really should work.

I figured out the the check box on the home page relating to font size
didn't say what I originally though it said so I unchecked it. Now the
font is what I set and much easier to read in spite of the colors and
contrasts.
I think I am good and we can end this exchange. Thanks to all of you
who responded. Nice to know that I can actually get human interaction
when I need help. And, yes, I am a Noob. Went to Linux Mint Olivia
about three months ago and haven't taken the time to learn more than
superficial use needs. Will work on that.

There is some funny stuff going on with the fonts. Although mine didn't
forget the fonts it certainly ignored the size and typeface I set.

Let's go back to the beginning.
Am I right in thinking that you are not referring to the colour used
for matched transactions? Are you in fact referring to the backgrond
colour of the selected transaction?
As far as I see, the 'Use system colors' does not affect the selected
transaction background. In fact it is set by the system settings.
I don't think we know which distro you are using, but you need to run
sytem settings, the KDE version not the gnome/other version. There, if
you select Application Appearance, then look for Selection Background.
You can adjust the colour/intensity there, and also the selection text
colour. You can see the effect at the bottom of that window. You may
have to restart KMM for it to pick up the new settings.
So far as font size is concerned, I'm not sure what you mean by
'retain last setting of font size made while in use.' Here, you need
to use the KMM settings/Fonts. Then you may choose either to use
system settings or KMM settings.

Did that. No joy. Also, it is configured to retain last setting of
font size made while in use. I made the font larger but now it is
back to the original size.
This program has a mind of it's own.
