Trim/extend highlighting
In V24 a stippled line type was used for trim and extend as a preview of what would be added or deleted. In V25 this has been changed to a dark gray color that is almost impossible to see against a black background. Is there any way to change the highlight in V25? I don't see anything in settings or in Help. I'd prefer to revert to the stippled line but changing to a color that can be easily seen would also work.
For the record, I am not a fan of the new Quick/Standard modification to the TRIM command. The new Quick/Standard option breaks LISP functions that have worked properly in V24 and earlier versions if Quick mode is on. I can rewrite my code to work around this, but don't think I should have to. I can't change a third party DES or BRX file.

I think I may have found part of the problem with TRIMEXTENDMODE. HELP says that TRIMEXTENDMODE is stored in the registry. Looking in the registry TRIMEXTENDMODE was set to 1. On my computer running (setvar "TRIMEXTENDMODE" 0) does not change the value in the registry. It seems to work on the document level only.
The value for TRIMEXTENDMODE in my .ARG file was 1. Changing that to 0 does reset the registry value.

To set a registry value try (setenv "enviromentname" value)
I tried to find it but could not what is correct name.

@ALANH: Thanks for the response. I tried (setenv "TRIMEXTENDMODE" 0). It does not change the value in the registry on my computer. It seems to set the value only in the local instance of Bricscad. From the testing I've done it looks like sometimes TRIM pulls the TRIMEXTENDMODE value locally and sometimes it pulls the value from the registry. My guess is that there is a difference between a command line call and a call in LISP, but things have been too busy here for me to fully evaluate this.
I should have started a separate discussion for TRIMEXTENDMODE. The immediately important part of the original post was about highlighting for trim and extend in V25. Highlighting /= very dark gray when the background is black. I can code around the TRIMEXTENDMODE issue. Not so much the highlighting issue.
