How do I change the main data entry highlight color in CC2018?

Question

I am using CC2018. I have chosen the color theme "Light". All colors throughout are fine and the way I like them while writing code EXCEPT in one place. When I go to the DW interface itself to set up a new site, for example...SITE >NEW SITE>, the data entry field highlight color is so light that I am having trouble seeing what I am highlighting. Can I change just this one color to a darker color. I know I can customize a theme, but it is way over my head finding what to change and how. I have gotten as far as being able to copy the "Light" theme and make a "new editable" theme from it, but don't know where or what to change to make this one color darker. Any help would be appreciated. I have attached a sample where the "site name" field is highlighted in the default color.

Thanks

That highlight color is controlled at the OS level.

There might be somewhere in a program file to change the background color of the text field, to off-set the highlight color given by the OS, but I wouldn't know where to start looking.

To change the highlight in Windows7, you need to go into Personalize > Window Color > Advanced Appearance Settings > Item > Selected Items and choose a new color.

I'm not sure where it would be in Mac, or other versions of Windows though.
