Beyond Compare

Elements

Select an element to change its colors.
 
The Selection element controls the treatment of selected text.  By default, Beyond Compare uses a medium blue color for selections so that difference coloring is not obscured.  If you prefer the operating system's standard treatment for selections, select the Use system checkbox.  Selected files will then lose difference coloring, although the color spot to the left of each filename will still be colored appropriately.
 
Choose the colors to be used for Filtered out items (when Suppress Filters is used), and for items whose comparison state is Unknown.  Sekect the Use Stripes checkbox to tint the background on every other line of the comparison.
