Eclipse: How do you change the highlight color of the currently selected method/expression?

Question

In eclipse, when your cursor is placed on a method (or other things), other places the method exists are highlighted. I'd like to change the color of this highlight, but after scouring the eclipse preferences many times in all 3 places, I have yet to find it.

Any of you Eclipse gurus know where to find this option?

Thank you!

Answer 1

After running around in the Preferences dialog, the following is the location at which the highlight color for "occurrences" can be changed:

General -> Editors -> Text Editors -> Annotations

Look for Occurences from the Annotation types list.

Then, be sure that Text as highlighted is selected, then choose the desired color.
