No highlighted word in search bug?
Whenever I do a basic search for a word, when the word is found by Mellel, it is not highlighted on the page. Since I'm searching a long document, I have to read through the whole page showing in order to find the word I've searched. Is this a bug?

It's hightlighted in my docs. What background colour do you have?soliphint wrote:Whenever I do a basic search for a word, when the word is found by Mellel, it is not highlighted on the page.

Re: No highlighted word in search bug?
that's probably the culprit. Change it to another colour and you'll notice the highlight (is standard grey).soliphint wrote:I have a light gray background.verma wrote:It's hightlighted in my docs.

Re: No highlighted word in search bug?
Thank you. I guess there's no way to change the highlighted color?
Re: No highlighted word in search bug?
I guess not - it's probably a catch22 situation anyway - use another colour and perhaps another user will have your problem. Of course, one could suggest that they show in a default eye-offending colour that no-one is ever willing to use as background colour... Perhaps you can add a request it to the 2.6 wishlist!soliphint wrote:Thank you. I guess there's no way to change the highlighted color?

The highlight color can be changed via the Apple Preferences > Appearance.

It seems that works for highlighting selected text, but not for text that is highlighted otherwise. The "Find" text in Mellel still highlights in gray, even though the color in Apple Prefs. -> Appearances is orange.
Re: No highlighted word in search bug?
Indeed- Mellel's Find command puts it in light gray, when you click on the text, it turns to Apple's general preference for highlighting. But that's not the problem, if I understood well - but the original Mellel colour used to highlight while executing the Find command. As far as I know, it's something the Redlers have to change.soliphint wrote:It seems that works for highlighting selected text, but not for text that is highlighted otherwise.

Re: No highlighted word in search bug?
I realize this is a minimal problem in the big scheme of WP things, but I would very much like to keep my gray background, as it is easier on the eyes, and would like, if possible, to have the highlighted text in "Find" changed. Sure, it's possible that others may have the same background if it's changed, but I doubt there are any out there with, for example, the orange colored background that is default for Apple's highlighted selected text.
Re: No highlighted word in search bug?
exactly. I'd suggest you suggest this to the Redlers - i.e. that the default colour for the Find text highlight (viewable from within the Find dialogue) be changed to a user-specified colour - much like the general Apple highlight setting. I.e. that the same highlighting be used as the one that is used inside the specific Mellel or Compact view window.soliphint wrote:I realize this is a minimal problem in the big scheme of WP things, but I would very much like to keep my gray background, as it is easier on the eyes, and would like, if possible, to have the highlighted text in "Find" changed.

Re: No highlighted word in search bug?
I think you will find that the greying out of the "Find" text occurs in other applications too, including Apple's own Preview and Pages. But interestingly it doesn't happen in Nisus (perhaps because it has its own preferences for customizing various highlight colours?).
