Please have an option for this!

Can FL give us an option to change the colour of a word that you left click on??!!

For example. In any book, a left-click on a word will "highlight" or "colour" (pink) that same word throughout that resource or any other book that is open.

I too like Justin thought, hey that's wierd I always see light blue but playing with the options I have found is the colour is depends upon what options are selected. For instance if I just have lemma selected it is light blue, which is how I normally use this tool.

If I choose just surface text instead, I get what looks like light purple to my eyes, maybe this is the pink you are getting MM?

And to keep it short if I choose all options, the colours seem to stack on top of one another to give me a darker greyish blue colour - at least to my eyes.

That said there is no way to change colour options presently. What might be possible to implement without overcomplicating things is to give users a choice of different colour palletes or Themes as I think they are called in Office to vary what colours are used.  It might make things to complicated to allow users to set colours for indivdual times within a tool and is some cases the colours vary depending upon the number of terms in a search for instance. But a Theme that allowed users to have a top level choice of colour range might be helpful.

Simon? When I have a bible open with the option of that you show, I too get a darker colour. However, if a book does not have all the options in the Formatting tab then I'm back to pink.

I was excited there for a minute. But the resources I have opened so far, do not give me all those options to get a darker colour.

You will only get all those options I demonstrated with a bible because they have a reverse interlinear that allows for these different options. For other books that only have the surface text that is the only thing there to work with, there is no underlying lemmas or roots. And so, you are seeing the pink/purple colour only which is at least consistent with the previous example I demonstrated from a bible. That way at least if I left click on a word this purple/pink highlight shows up I know it is comparing the surface text whether I am in a bible or some other type of book - but that doesn't help your problem with the colour choice.

A given lemma or root can be translated using different words in English depending upon the context.  And in reverse a give word in English may be associated with more than one lemma, and hence root. When it is a bible that has a reverse interlinear, each option will potentially give you different results so changing the options(s) selected to change the colour really wouldn't be an ideal solution.  

From my experience the pink highlight is a selected word. For example, I keep the Bible Word Study Tool as a linked tab in my Layout - when I single left click a word, it opens in the BWS panel and that selected word is pink.

The light blueish highlight shows up when I have the Visual filter set for corresponding words, specifically using the Hover option.

My eyes are just fine but I have to work hard to see all the highlighted words. 

Try to ajust your screen’s hue and gamma or rgb settings. I struggled to see question and handout color blocks in the Sermon Editor. Changing the settings solved everything.

Also consider your screen. I am using an array of three at the moment. One is a vintage 15-year-old Dell, the second is a so- so Costco HP Screen, and the third a drool-inducing Dell OLED monitor. The ancient Dell barely shows color contrast at all, even after maxing out all the settings. The drool-inducer…shows splendidly.
