Fix for Xcode's indiscernible highlighting of inline errors?

Does anyone know how to change the color of the in-line highlighting for warnings and errors in Xcode 4? With almost every theme, the yellow warning highlight makes the underlying code impossible to read. Example picture

Solution

  • Just came across this, which seems to be able to modify some of Xcode's behaviors by creating some sort of plugin. Maybe one can be developed to change text highlight color. http:/github.com/davekeck/Xcode-4-Fixins

    Update:

    I've finally managed to implement a Xcode "fixin" to do it.

    You just need to open the project and build it. Doing so will install an Xcode plugin called "XCFixin_CustomizeWarningErrorHighlights.xcplugin" into ~/Library/Application Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/Plug-ins. You can of course customize the colors to your liking.

    Get the "fixin" here:
