Change highlight colour in the HTML preview pane : is this possible?

Question

Hi! 
 In the HTML preview pane of the editor, the selected segment is dislayed in " dark green ", which is sometimes a bit difficult to read (depending on the screen configuration). 
 I was wondering if the highlight colour in the HTLM preview could be changed (for example, in an XML config file). 
 Thanks, 
 Olivier

Hello Olivier, 
 While Trados Studio does not directly allow you to change the highlight color in the HTML preview pane, there is a workaround you can try. You can use the Wordlight plugin or the Community Advanced Display Filter to remove the highlighting, and then apply a new color of your choice in the source file. Here's how you can do it: 
 Step 1: Open your project in Trados Studio. 
 Step 2: Use the Wordlight plugin or the Community Advanced Display Filter to remove the existing highlighting. 
 Step 3: Open the source file in an HTML editor. 
 Step 4: Apply the new highlight color to the text you want to highlight. 
 Step 5: Save the changes and import the source file back into Trados Studio. 
 Please note that this is a workaround and may not work perfectly in all situations. Also, remember to remove all highlighting before creating the final files, as leaving formatting in the target file may cause issues. 
 I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. 
 Best regards,

 Best to ignore the AI with this reply... it is nonsense. 
 I don't think it's possible to change the colour in the preview for highlighting the selected segment, not even in a config file. Seems like a sensible request though, perhaps you can log this as an idea here:
