Using find feature in Safari

[petertay]

When any Safari site or web page is open (especially long results of a Google search), the Find feature is useful to quickly highlight a keyword in the list. BUT...
The search tool highlights the word in light gray, a color barely visible on a busy screen.
Q. How can we change the highlight color to red? Neither Safari nor Finder Preferences has an option for that (or are we missing something?).

'How can we change the highlight color to red? Neither Safari nor Finder Preferences has an option for that (or are we missing something?' - the 'highlight' color is a universal setting, not local to an application (such as 'Safai' or 'Finder').

01. Launch 'System Preferences' (in the '/Applications/' folder) or via the 'Apple, System Preferences...' menu item.
02. Click on the 'Apperance' utility icon.
03. From the 'Highlight Color:' popup menu select 'red' or another color. If none of the listed colors are of your choice - click on the 'Other...' menu item. A 'Colors' floating pallet will appear. From here you can select / assign any color of your desire.

----

Sadly, the color you choose will affect the 'selection' color of items (selected) on the 'Finder' 'Desktop' and / or in any 'Finder' window(s). Only when you click 'again' on the item's name (title) area will the name (title) only be highlighted in the selected 'Highlight'ed color.

Now, if only Apple would allow us to also set the 'selection' color, fix 'Finder', return 'Button View', allow 'List' view as a default, return real 'Color Label's, ...

I believe that this will be improved with the new version of Safari (in Leopard), that's the rumor anyways.
