As someone who’s moderately (or not, if you ask my wife) color-blind, I have tried mucking with every option that makes sense, but every change I make o try to make my search results actually “pop” and be legible at the same time fails.
I have a darker theme for my editor, with light color text, but my search results in the editor seem to be black text on a slightly lighter background highlighting.
Any help appreciated… I can barely read the highlighted word and, since I’m doing a regex search for multiple words, I would love to know which one was found.
There’s various settings under File > Options > Appearance > Textual Marks > Colors to play with. Experiment with the settings whose names start with ‘Find’ or ‘Search’ to see if there’s something that works for you.
No way to change the “Search Text Selection Text” though? I’d prefer the current (darker) background color and a lighter text, but this works. Perhaps in some future version that can be something customizable also.
No setting for “Search Text Selection Text” seems like an oversight in development. I played with various text and background settings, including the Find Text adjustments, but regardless of other colors that were set, the text of the found item was always set to black.
There is also no built-in intelligence about color incompatibilities such that if you set the Editor background to black, your found text just disappears because it is black on black. The code is not checking for that or similar palette problems.
The dark theme (and other colorized themes) in the Beta has had many issues due to it also being beta. The text color in documents should be set to default (or no color), but sometimes it isn’t. Not saying that what you experienced isn’t a bug, but it doesn’t manifest itself in the default theme. Lots of inconsistencies with the themes that I suspect have taken a back burner to other bugs that affect all of Scrivener and not just one, or more, particular theme(s).
