I went to their site to pose a question, but the answer already was there. Duh. It says (quote): Changing the color for highlighted items in Finale 2008 Question The color that Finale uses to highlight measures and other items seems too dark. Can I change this somewhere?

Okay, next stupid question (probably). I think the blue of the selection tool is way too dark. Is there a place where I can change it to a lighter shade? (I have searched the help files for the word color, but I have found nothing on changing the colour of the selection tool
