In your posts #9 and #13 you sent us a screenshot, so I know you know how to do that. A screenshot is an image that you can attach to a Reply here at TS. By default, any attached image in a post appears below any text you write in a post. So...

1. Open an app that allows you to enter text.
2.a. Type several lines of text in that app.
2.b. Alternatively, just open a document that includes some text.
3. Select a word or two of that just written text.
4. Make a screenshot (image) of the area of your screen that includes the selected text and a few words on either side of the text. [Shift + Command + 4]
5. Attach that image(s) in a Reply.

We don't need an "rtf", "doc", "txt", etc. file. Those are not images. We are waiting to actuall see what you are seeing on your screen in an app that displays text. The actual words are irrelavant, they don't even need to be in any particular language. We are not interested in your writing. We want to see an image of what you see on your screen. In other words, a "screenshot". :Look:

I've attached a four images using different highlight colors as examples.

Please make a similar change in your System Prefs and then perform the 5 steps above.

Thanks!  :sos:

I need you to send me a screenshot of some selected text. An image (screenshot) of some selected text . Below is a screenshot of some text I selected in Preview ["She could make"]. Note that it includes some UN-selected text above, below and to either side of the selected text. That is an example of what I am asking you to do. Please review the three steps I posted in my Reply #10.

I'll check for your reply Monday? :dntknw:

Thanks  :D

ADSR, the screenshot you are sending is of your System prefs.

I am asking you to send a screenshot of some “Selected text” while using some app that is displaying some text you have entered. You could use TextEdit, Word, Pages, Preview or any other app you want.

What I want to see is some text you have highlighted in one kind of document, not anything in System Prefs.

 :D

Here's a possibility: Go to ~/Library/Preferences and look for com.apple.preference/general.plist. This may contain the highlight preference but I can't be sure. Move this plist to the desktop (don't trash it). Then, go back to System Preferences/General and reset your preferences. If this works and there are no untoward issues, you can trash the plist on the desktop. If not, return it to that location.

I cannot guarantee that this will work. You also might try my previous suggestion of using Disk Utility to run Repair Disk.

(If you have difficulty accessing that location, in Finder click the Go menu, click Go To Folder, type ~/Library/Preferences, and press Return.)

White" highlighting won't show up on a "white" background

That's my  problem !... but any color i choose stays a fraction of second , than return to white..all the colors stays  white :confused: ...as you can see on the screen capture..
That's why i think it would be ok  to reset theses preferences ...but how ?:Thinking:

ADSR, please consider following my (3 step) "Suggestion" [Reply #10] in my last post. :D

By the way, your last screenshot showed the highlight color as "Graphite". That should appear as a very light gray if your document background is white. That's why I am asking for a screenshot of a document where there is no apparent color. "White" highlighting won't show up on a "white" background. :Thinking: :doh: :WOW:

The first "colored" dot actually sets the default System 'color' used in your OS. Despite the dot appearing as dark blue, the actual highlight color is a very light gray. Please select another color (Red?) and send is a screenshot the General Prefs page. I'd like to see/read what shows in the "Couleur de surbrillance" section.

Thanks! :D
