Color of selected row in code assist drop down [message #13867]

I am using Eclipse 2.1 on WIndows XP with Silver Theme. WHen I use code
assist and get a drop down with a list of possible methods, the highlight
color is virtually indistinguishable form teh background of the drop down
(both pale cream.) Can either of these colors be configured?

If I select one with a mouse then I see a different (dark grey) color
which is readable.

This sounds trivial (even to me) but a tip would really help.

Peter.

You can change the color of the background of the drop down using
Window>Preferences>Java>Editor>Code Assist>Completion proposal background.
