gedit
I'm using Ubuntu 14.10-gnome3.14. Here is the question. when I check the "highlight current line" check-box on the gedit, it highlight the current line, but the color is pure white I can barely see the code. So, how can I change this.
I don't mean to change the syntax highlight style, just change the "highlight current line" color.
Find the solution myself:
It was a style (theme) problem. Checked again using the default theme and this behave as expected. So I inspected carefully the other themes and found that not all those themes had this problem.
The solution was to edit the theme's code (twilight.xml) to insert the following lines:
<style name="selection" background="orange" />
<style name="selection-unfocused" foreground="white" background="gray" />
By the way, the location of the themes in gEdit 3 differ from gEdit 2. Here it is:
~/.local/share/gtksourceview-3.0/styles/
You can create the directory yourself if it doesn't exist. Further info on style paths here: http://live.gnome.org/GtkSourceView/StyleSchemes
I figured it out myself. Questions seems to be so unpopular that I received the "Tumbleweed bagde". Awesome!

I have 14.04, but
geditover there has an option to change color scheme --- the preferences menu is quite hidden (at least in gnome-shell), you have to go on the panel menu to find it:(will be different in Unity), and then:
and all your color scheme will change. In the shot above, I choose "kate".
If you want to change just the color of the highlight line (for example), you should edit the style; in principle that should be easily done by changing the file
(reference here) and change the line
to your liking. Unfortunately, it doesn't work --- if anyone know why please chime in.
