When a method or variable is selected it is highlighted in Eclipse with some color. Can anyone advice where to change that color? I'm working under Windows OS.

The menus are slightly different for Each Platform. Are you using Mac OSX, Linux, or Windows? – EnabrenTane Jan 15 '11 at 10:55

I've found where to change it:
Preferences -> General -> Editors -> Text Editors -> Annotations and there you have to change both "Occurrences" and "Write occurrences".

It's good to note that for each language you'll have a different set of "Occurrences" and "Write occurrences". At least in my case with C/C++, Python and Java. – neowinston Feb 27 '14 at 15:32

Preferences -> General -> Editors -> Text Editors
Current Line Highlight
I think you want the above
else
Preferences -> Java -> Editor -> Syntax Coloring
Element -> Java -> Method or Variable
Check Enable and select color

That's not what I'm looking for. I'm interested in the color which is using to highlight a method or a variable when one of those are selected by means clicking on it. – Eugene Jan 15 '11 at 11:05

This has made me mad for about half an hour.
If the issue appears in JavaScript files, the option is under Preferences -> General -> Editors -> Text Editors -> Annotations and in the Annotation types choose JavaScript Occurences. Mine was set to black, nasty little thing took me too long to fix.

If you're using eclipse with PHP package and want to change highlighted colour then there is slight difference to above answer.
- Right click on highlighted word
- Select 'Preferences'
- Go to General > Editors > Text Editors > Annotations. Now look for "PHP elements 'read' occurrences" and "PHP elements 'write' occurrences". You can select your desired colour there.
