Unable to read text due to maroon error highlight colour
Description

When compiling the following code in an Editor window, compilation fails (as expected).
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE test AS BEGIN
test that wont compile;
END;

TOAD highlights the second line with a dark red (Maroon) background. On some screens this makes it difficult to read the text, as it is black.
Cause

This happens in Windows XP if the theme is Silver.
If the XP theme is Blue or Olive, it works ok as the highlighted text is white.
Resolution

WORKAROUND:
Change the Windows XP theme colour to Blue or Olive.
STATUS:
Enhancement request CR 75663 has been submitted to Development for consideration in a future release of Toad for Oracle.
Defect ID

CR 75663
