changing the highlight color of 'find' text in acroread

  • Follow


Hi,

I am trying to find the xresource that changes the color of the higlight 
of the results of "Find text" feature of acroread. Currently, I have 
these in my .Xdefaults file:
!fix acroread appearance
! Don't hide menu separators
AcroRead*XmSeparator*shadowThickness: 2
! set background / shadow colors
AcroRead*background: gray90
AcroRead*bottomShadowColor: gray65
AcroRead*topShadowColor: white
AcroRead*HighlightColor:yellow
! Use helvetica font for menus and dialogs
!AcroRead*fontList: -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
AcroRead*fontList: -*-helvetica-*-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*


With these, when I try to find some text, it is highlighted by the same 
color as the background color (or something similar) and it doesn't 
stand out. Which resource changes that color? The highlightcolor 
resource above changes the outline color of the active options in the 
dialogboxes only.

Thanks,
->HS
