vs2010 XAML Find highlight is very fade - visual-studio

As you can see at the following picture when I search for a word with "Find Next" button the highlight on the word I'm searching is very faded and difficult to see.
but when I search it with F3 I can see the highlight better because it's on blue background.
Is there any way to apply the blue background also on "Find Next" button??
Thanks!

I think the setting you're looking for is Tools->Options->Environment->Fonts and Colors->Show Settings for Text Editor->Inactive Selected Text.
I switched mine to the red colour that you see in the screenshot below as a test but from your question description you'll want to set Inactive Selected Text to the same value as Selected Text.

Is it possible to change the highlight or background color of the "search results" from the help menu in RStudio?

I'm able to change the colour of selected text in the RStudio script window. For this I changed the
.ace_marker-layer .ace_selection {
background: #9D0000;
}
in the /Applications/RStudio.app/Contents/Resources/app/resources/themes/chaos.rstheme
But whenever I do a search in the 'Help' panel, the highlighted background is a faint grey and would like to change it. Where could I find the value that needs to be changed for this?

Microsoft Word Highlighting Text White

For some reason, whenever I create a Text Box and start typing, the background text is highlighted white and I can't make it transparent. This picture should explain everything:
I want to remove the highlighting so the gradient in the background shows through. I used to do things like this a lot, but for some reason Word won't let me now. Any suggestions?
I am on Word 2011 Mac
Got some clues here and finally found a solution for MSWord for Mac version 16.9:
Select the text you want to fix
Select "Design" Tab
Click "Page Borders"
Click the "Shading" Tab
Select Apply to "Text"
[Fill] is showing "No Color". Open the selection and re-select "No Color"
Hit "OK"
Worked for me. It is obviously a bug in Word.
Right-click the text box that you want to make invisible.
If you want to change multiple text boxes, click the first text box or shape, and then press and hold SHIFT while you click the other text boxes.
On the shortcut menu, click Format Text Box.
On the Colors and Lines tab, in the Fill section, click the arrow next to Color, and then click No Color.
On the Colors and Lines tab, in the Line section, click the arrow next to Color, and then click No Color.
Click OK. Your textbox's background is now invisible...
It seems the actual text highlight is your problem, so try:
Go into Borders and Shading, apply it to text, and set it to clear. Had me confused because I've never had to do this before.
As seen here.
I also searched around and had trouble finding this.
In Word for Mac 2011
Highlight the text
Click tables in the ribbon
Find the shading icon (looks like a paint bucket)
Click the down arrow next to the bucket and select No Fill
Change the text format from anything apart from Normal text.(important)
Solution 1
Select the Text box and go to the "format" tab,
modify the outline and fill options
if this isn't enough
Solution 2
select the Text box and right click for options
select the last option "format shape"

Xcode: Color highlight code/text on cursor blinking

In Android/Eclipse, if I single click on a word, all of its occurrences are color highlighted throughout the file.
Is the same possible in Xcode?
Is there a plugin for achieving it?
Is there any Automator Script/Service to achieve this ?
In xcode click into the word and then hover over it and you should see a little dropdown arrow appear to the right of the word. Click this arrow and choose 'edit all in scope'. This will highlight all occurrences in the file... and let you edit them all at once.

How do I change find result highlight color with VS2010 and Resharper?

I just installed Resharper and it's changed the highlight color for find results. Normally when I place my cursor on a particular symbol, say a variable called 'goat', all onscreen references to goat will be highlighted with a gray background. When I hit Ctrl+F to move through all references to goat in the document the current find result has the same gray background as all others on screen. So I have no idea which goat I'm currently at until I close the find dialog at which point the currently selected goat highlights in blue.
This makes it really difficult for me to quickly check all references to a given variable in file. I know you can change color settings in Tools->Options->Environment->Fonts And Colors, however I've been unable to find a setting that corresponds to the currently selected find result.
If the currently selected find result was any color other than gray, it would stand out, but as it is it makes Find as effective as simply clicking on a variable and having VS2010 highlight all current onscreen references.
The setting to change is "Inactive Selected Text". It is in Tools->Options->Environment->Fonts And Colors, Show Settings for Text Editor, third option down.

VS 2010 - find text in XAML editor

In VS 2010, when searching for text in the XAML editor, the highlighted text is highlighted in the lightest gray colour when not in focus. Is it possible to change the background colour of the highlighted found item text? I've tried changing the VS theme but cannot find the property which would set this colour. In the screenshot below, the text "Text" is selected but you can barely see it and its driving me mad.
It's a bug that it doesn't show up as the active selection color when you perform a Find. I didn't find a workaround for it until after VS2010 shipped, sorry :( I'll find the Connect bug for you to vote up and then update this answer.
WORKAROUND:
After clicking CTRL + F, then click on the scroll bar in the XAML to regain focus on the XAML and you'll see the find text in the correct colour!
