Let me be a bit verbose. Say, I selected a text. All check boxes at
"Preferences -> Editor -> Style -> Selection" are unselected. Then
I check up "Use custom selection colours" and <upply> changes.

Both foreground and background are changed to used-defined colours.
Then I check up "Colorize selected text", <apply> changes.
Now foreground of selected text reverts back to original (from
user-defined colour).

May be checking up of the first box should change only background
of the selected text to used-define colour? And then checking-up
of the second box change foregroung of the selected text to user-defined
colour?

Hm, I got it. The russian translation is not quite correct. To
translate back from russian the colour is "caret background" (which
confused me and I decided to ask here). But while writing the e-mail
I switched eric6 to English locale and blindly write down the right
name "caret _line_ background". Sure, I understand what is it.
Sorry for confusion.

My terminology is flaky today. :-(

I'm not sure how to name this line in English (I called it folding
line):
-----
if <condition>
  | <code>
  | <code>
end
-----
That line (I marked as"|") appears to be at UI a dotted one. The
question is may I change the colour of that line.

Detlev, thank you for your time and effort.
