Description of the Issue

Notepad++ does not use the standard selected text colors of white text on blue background. Because of this, the user should be able to change both the foreground and background colors of selected text. However, using the Style Configurator and changing the Foreground Color of selected text does nothing and the color is always black.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

  1. Click "Settings"
  2. Click "Style Configurator"
  3. Select "Global Style"
  4. Select "Selected text colour"
  5. Change the foreground color and save the changes.

Expected Behavior

The foreground text color of selected text should change. Alternatively, the default secret text color should be the Windows standard OD white text on blue background.

Actual Behavior

The foreground text color of selected text does not change.
