Highlight color is greenish color, despite revert to default settings after trying it out.

Hello,

 

I tried out the WB11 before reset it back to default...but leaves it with a greenish tint on the highlighting portions.

I checked RegEdit to see what color is set to, and it's on default blue.

I'd like to know how to fix that.


Here's my Windows version, just in case:

 

Thanks.

What registry key did you check?

SOLVED!

After Googling it up more, I discovered that the highlight color is also located in a different registry key area below. This link helped me:

Also, you can create a .reg file of the default colors and do that, sign out and sign back in, with this method: https://www.winhelponline.com/blog/reset-window-color-appearance-settings/
