Change the enhance color?

[Gianni Becattini]

One of the most annoying features of AP is the color used to enhance the found text in a search (or in preflight), that results about invisible.

Is it possible to change it to a light color, e.g., a nice well-visible yellow?

Thanks

One comment: please note that AP is Photo. You can see that by hovering over the AP in your post or this one. Publisher could be shortened as APub or APu if you want.

As you're on a Mac, I will let someone else comment if there are any macOS system settings that might help you; there are none in Publisher as far as I know.

Always very kind as always, Walt, and thank for the answer.

So APub, since now!

In macOS settings (or preferences, depending which version you use) > General, you can choose an accentuation color (for details of the interface), and an Highlight color (for selected text or items). But these don't modify the color used by APub for selected text, only interface elements. 

Thus, there is no generic solution to your question. 

You can though modify the color used to highlight selected text, and elements, by adding a layer to your document (containing your text frame) and choosing a specific color for it in its properties. This color will then be used for what is selected inside this layer.

Thanks, but having many different pages with many text layers it would be unpractical to add a layer only for this.

Perhaps I could have relied more on master pages, but, on the contrary, today I am removing them, which created more problems to me than solved (probably because I misused them, but not only, I believe).

Thanks however.

If your Text Frames were on a Master Page, it would be easy to add the Layer once and handle all of them.

Learning how to use them properly will pay off in the end, I think.
