greetings,

I’ve checked textField’s class properties, but couldn’t find a property to change COLOR OF SELECTED TeXT, so that when i select txt inside textField which has for ex. black background, and white text color, color of the text selected will be for ex. GREY

default is i think BLACK selection color…

thanks in advance 🙂
