Question
Consider the Visual Studio's highly-customizable configuration of the text editor.
The value I'd like to tweak is the highlighting of the found search string. See circled below.
Question: in Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2, or Visual Studio 2008 which setting in the Fonts and Colors dialog box will allow the highlight/surround color to be changed?
Solution
Try changing Colors->Selected Text and Colors->Inactive Selected Text (in Tools->Options->Environment->Fonts)
OTHER TIPS
There's a bug in Beta 2 that the results of a Find operation are highlighted with the inactive selection color instead of the active selection color (as Orcas did). Post Beta 2, it should show up in the much more obvious blue (or whatever the active selection color is set to).
Other than that, it isn't separately configurable, as the highlight is the actual text selection and not a marker of some sort.
