[FIXED] Eclipse: How do you change the highlight color of the currently selected method/expression?

Issue

In eclipse, when your cursor is placed on a method (or other things), other places the method exists are highlighted. I'd like to change the color of this highlight, but after scouring the eclipse preferences many times in all 3 places, I have yet to find it.

Any of you Eclipse gurus know where to find this option?

Solution

After running around in the Preferences dialog, the following is the location at which the highlight color for "occurrences" can be changed:

General -> Editors -> Text Editors -> Annotations

Look for Occurences from the Annotation types list.

Then, be sure that Text as highlighted is selected, then choose the desired color.
