Where does the highlight color come from in the VT control? I cannot figure out where this color comes from, and I have users complaining about the new cursor color = highlight color that was implemented in 1.8.1 of the VT control.

Do you mean the bold color? If so it comes from escape sequences in the data sent to the VT. It is set using Vt.Boldcolor

No, I mean the highlight color -- the color used for highlighting text using the mouse. It looks like it is a calculated colors, based on flipping the terminal's background color.

In the new 1.8.1 components, the cursor is the same color as the highlight color. Some of our users are complaining that this color is awful and can they change it, but it looks like that's not possible in the VT component. Unless I'm missing something, of course...

I see what's going on now. One of the feature requests we added for the last release caused the color to change. I have put in another feature request to add a CursorColor property.

If you call or write in to check on the status of the request, the issue number is 2208.
