Modern Vespa

Somewhere I changed a setting to highlight a word searched on a page to grey. I'm having hell seeing the highlighted word in gray. I cannot find where to change the highlight color. I'm working on my snowblower manual and it's very hard to see. HELP!

a global change...
select the apple icon (upper left corner of screen)
select System Preferences...
select Appearance (under Personal)
change highlight color:

Hope this helps.

ctrl-option-apple-8 for a quick fix.

This post should be in the Modern Snowblower section. ;^)

I hadn't realized Vespa made a snowblower. I guess I need one here.

Very nice Mac help! I wonder how many of us are Mac users? I run my local MUG, and used to work as a Specialist (blue shirt guy) at an Apple Store, so I probably know a tad more than the average user. But I'm still learning every day and some of the old time Mac users I've met surprise me with their knowledge.

Re: Ctrl Opt Cmd 8, I was working the phones one day at the store when a customer called in a panic. She said her cat had walked across her keyboard and ruined her Mac. She said her screen now looked all wonky. Well, you can guess the "fix" I recommended.

Thanks! Got it!

Lost of Mac folks here George. I knew a guy with the Las Vegas group. Ray Seakan, is he still about?

It's the half bath tub.

Well, the Option key is on the Mac keyboard and actually says "Option" on it. It also says "alt" in small letters. It's the third key from the left on the bottom row of keys.

Tomjazz, I don't know Ray Seakan. But my MUG is the Siena Mac Users Group here where I live. It's not the Las Vegas group. My MUG has about 70 members now. I started it three years ago.

Cute Len, very cute.
