| I cannot find a background color setting [message #1834970] |

I'm trying to find the setting of the background color of the selected class name in Package Explorer view when the focus is not on that view, but I can't seem to be able to find that setting.
Details:
I'm using the dark theme and I have set some colors manually. When I click a class name in the Package Explorer view, the focus of course goes to Package Explorer, and the background color of the class name is different enough from the background color of the Package Explorer view (see green arrow in screenshot "Focus on Package Explorer"), so that's good.
When I click on a class in the code editor, the focus of course goes to the code editor, and the corresponding class name becomes selected in Package Explorer (because I have "Link with editor" active). In this case unfortunately the background color of the class name in Package Explorer is almost the same as the background color of the Package Explorer view (see red arrow in screenshot "Focus on Code Editor").
So I would like to change the setting of the background color of the selected class name in Package Explorer view when the view doesn't have the focus.

No, I did not find where that color can be changed. I gave up, these settings are unreasonably difficult to find. When I have the focus on the code editor and I want to see that class highlighted in Package Explorer, I click on the Package Explorer tab to give it the focus so I can see the class highlighted in the tree, then I click back on the code editor and keep my eye on the class name that was highlighted in Package Explorer and is no longer highlighted. It's riduculous that this is needed but I do need the dark theme and I do need to see - visually - the package in which the class is, because I want to see what other classes are in the same package.
Themes - or at least for sure the dark theme - are poorly implemented in Eclipse and even more poorly maintained. Another utterly annoying problem with the dark theme is this bug, which probably would be ridiculously easy and quick to fix and yet it's ignored since 2016, and which is similar to the problem you had when you saved the preferences as an .epf file and you did not find this setting in the file.
