- On a Mac the highlighting color is stored as a 6-byte RGB value at
- address 0xDA0. Executor sets that to R:G:B = 0xFFFF:0xFFFF:0x0000 by
- default (bright yellow). There's no reason that value couldn't be
- adjusted, but there's also no code in Executor to let you do that. I
- suppose we could add a command-line switch, but personally I'd rather
- not clutter up the list of Executor switches any more.
-
- Someone could probably write a desk accessory to let you change this
- value. Since you're using Linux, I suppose you could change the value
- of the memory locations holding the highlight color in gdb. Heh.
