    Hi, there is a setting to control this. Go to Setup > User Preferences.

    In the search field search for font. Check the box Display_Nohilitefont, hit ok to save the preference. Go to View and choose Refresh to refresh the display.

    Best Regards.

    On my system here nets highlight solid, 17.2, 17.4 allegro. You could try go to display cplor dialog. There is the temporary highlight color there. Down in the bottom right of the window there is swatches that allow stippling of the color, choose the blank swatch and a color of your choosing for the "Temporary Highlight"

    Best Regards.
