I thought I'd tack on additional comments to this old thread because I believe I got to the bottom of this issue. Andrew rightly pointed out that the packet associated with "hilite drawing" does change the color of highlighted items - but only items you've "hard" selected i.e. mouse clicked on, or selected using a mouse selection window. If you're just hovering over an item the pre-selection highlighting color I kept seeing was yellow. Same thing with the rubber-banded lines when stretching or resizing things - all yellow on a white background and devastatingly hard to see. I tried modifying everything to do with hilite and drawing in the Display Resource Editor and it didn't make any difference to that stuff. Turns out the yellow dynamic highlighting color isn't dealt with in the Display Resource Editor, it's dealt with in .Xdefaults where I had to add the lines: Opus.dragColor: red Opus.selectColor: red Opus.highlightColor: red I then restarted Cadence and all my yellow-fever was gone - I now had an easy to see red color:-). As an aside, after editing the .Xdefaults file you're supposed to do: xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults
