Can we change the track text edit marker colours in FM8?

I am still at FM 7.2, but I will guess that FM 8 (and 9) use the same mechanism for Track Changes.   These are FM's Conditional Text tags, and you can edit the color and/or lining style via the Special > Conditional Text dialog.

Click to highlight a tag name, and then the "Edit Condition Tag" button.  Change the properties as desired.  You can even open the basic template(s) and make these changes so that future files will include your preferences.

Hi,

Having just discovered the useful track edit tool, I wonder if it is 
possible to change the colour/underline that the edited text is given?

For example, I'd like to change the marker for inserted text from forest
green to a brighter colour.

I can't find anything in the FM8 user guide, nor on the internet. If
anyone knows of a backdoor way to do this, please let me know!

Thanks,
