Hi Roger,

Check the Options->Preferences -- Editor preference page
https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/23.1/ug-editor/topics/preferences-editor.html

Probably you have the "Find highlight color" set to white and the same 
color is used also for displaying the results.

For controlling the selection colors, on the same preferences page try 
playing with the

Selection background color
     Allows you to set the background color of selected text.
Selection foreground color
     Allows you to set the color of selected text.

Note also the Options->Preferences -- Appearance
https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/23.1/ug-editor/topics/preferences-appearance.html
This section allows you to export a color theme and also to import a 
previously exported one. You also have links to all the preference pages 
where colors can be set.

Best Regards,
George
