ADT: Coloring matching Keywords

Hello,

in ADT matching keywords (IF/ENDIF, DO/ENDDO, ...) are highlighted with dotted border. This is, at least for me, hard to recognize. Is it possible to customize this somewhere? Maybe highlight them with Bold or underlinded Font?

Kind regards

Bastian

PS: to precise it. I'm talking about the highlight when you are in this structure e.g. inside a DO/ENDDO. Not the general keyword color.

Well, I never noticed that!

So I had a look around: Window->Preferences. General->Editors->Text Editors->Annotations->ABAP Block Highlighting

You can choose to highlight, underline and a few others. I've just switched it to solid box in magenta (I use the dark colouring scheme). Underline's not so good as it might confuse with syntax error marking.
