If I try to search for something in an editor window, I can't see the cursor in the search box. Same goes for the selection.
There was already fix in Bug #223861. What is your current version/build? What is Look and feel? What is your font&colors profile? Can you please attach log and screenshot? Thank you
This is with latest NetBeans 7.4 (dev build 201307152300), will retest with latest again. The problem occurs with Dark Nimbus & Norway Today or City Lights running on Windows 7
Created attachment 137705 [details] screenshot dark nimbus You can see on my screenshot that selection works fine in dark nimbus (norway today)
Created attachment 137719 [details] Dark Nimbus on Windows 7 jdk8 b99 norway today No highlighting visible
The Screenshot was taken with build 201307222300 on JDK8 b99
Oh, you are using JDK8. That can be a problem.
According to my observation it only happens using Dark Nimbus (Dark Metal is OK). Java: 1.7.0_25; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 23.25-b01 Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.7.0_25-b16 System: Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64; Cp1252; en_US (nb)

(In reply to comment #3) > Created attachment 137705 [details] > screenshot dark nimbus > > You can see on my screenshot that selection works fine in dark nimbus (norway > today) Veto, Milutin! The screenshot shows the (working) Dark Metal LAF - not Dark Nimbus!

mito, this is not specific to JDK8, i use JDK7 and the caret in the search bar is almost invisible (black on dark blue background). Why don't you use the same color as in editor (yellow)? See the attached screenshot.

Ondra, look on Bug #223861, I cannot use editor caret, since someone can have dark font&colors profile and light laf.
I am working on this.
Dark themes were moved to the NetBeans Update Center for NB 7.4
*** Bug 239990 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Well, it seems a few color settings are missing from the DarkNimbusTheme. I have a trivial patch for that.
Created attachment 150109 [details] Proposed patch. This patch should fix the selection background on DarkNimbus and it is required to fix #239990 with DarkNimbus.
