[FIXED] Netbeans: How to change error row highlighting color away from red

Issue

I've dug through every damn color setting under Tools> Options. Went through every Fonts & Color, Editor, PHP etc and I'll be damned if I can figure out how to change the background row highlighting for when you have an error. I've been able to change ever other color to fit my personal preference cept this one. Here's a screen shot of the problem:

I would like to change the background red to a dark red so the text is easier to ready.

Using Netbeans 7.4

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Edit: Per Ben's point, here's the current options and the code behind the panel to show it's not working:

Final update, here's the end result which is close enough:

Solution

By looking at your screenshots (correct me if I am wrong) I can see that you have set your current row highlighting to red:

Tools-> Options-> Fonts&Colors-> Highlighting(Tab)-> Highlight Caret Row

As far as I know you can't set different background highlighting options for errors. So what you can do is set the formatting options for errors:

1. Font: No need to explain this.
2. Foreground: This is the text color if you change this it will disregard all other formatting options that you may have set, so lets leave it as is.
3. Background: This is what you want to change so that text don't get lost in the formatting. If you scroll to the bottom you can also set custom colors.
4. Effects: Irrelevant
5. Effect Color: Disabled if effects is None and only applies to the effect.

As you can see I set mine to yellow just as an example.

As you can see in this screen shot my background highlighting is light grey as well as my string formatting. So it is impossible to read, but by changing the error formatting this is the result:

Alternatively you can just select another background highlighting color that suits your formatting better.
