Changing the code highlight color in Dreamweaver

When making edits to code in Dreamweaver, I click on a line of code and the entire tag highlights in a really light green with white text.  This is not readable and I have gone into preferences and changed the "highlighting" which has no effect on this highlight color.  How do I change it?

You need to create a new Code Color Theme and edit the LESS file in DW, adding a selector for .CodeMirror-matchingtag.    See Reply #39 below for details.

Hi All,

 

We have started working on “Code Color Customization” improvements by adding support for customization of generic and language specific colors.


We have further stabilized the code coloring feature in our latest Prerelease build 15333.


You can refer to below thread for more details on code coloring customization improvements.

Thank you Nancy, but this isn't working for me.  I have read some of the responses on the other forum but I don't understand the back end coding enough to had the GitHub code.  Please advise, thank you.
