Editor showing the highlighted bar

My Windows 7 is in High Contrast mode, because of this Eclipse is also in High Contrast mode, and it is not permitted to change theme in Eclipse High Contrast mode.

The problem is when editing a program the line to be edited is hidden by a highlighted bar. So, it is not possible to write the code.

Please, could someone help me with this issue?

Best regards.

I think you can change this "current line highlight" color in the preferences at
General->Editors->Text Editors.

That said this background color should be something else by default in this mode. Don't know where this would have to be fixed. I don't think there's a "high contrast dark mode" theme, so maybe it's some system setting that SWT or JFace should react to.
