change "selected text color" onenote 2016

Question

Is it at all possible to change the color of *selected text* in OneNote?  

Please know that I'm not interested in changing text color, or text highlight color.  I need to know how to change the highlight color of selected text, i.e. text highlighted by click-&-drag.

Currently, in my installation of OneNote 2016 (and all Office apps), selected text is highlighted in light gray.  I need something a little more obvious - even an darker gray would suffice.  

Can anyone help?

I see this issue was reported in 2015.  Not sure what happened for OneNote 2016.  Guess it did not make the cut.  I have the same complaint.  I have tried all the Office themes and all of them have horrible highlight color.  On some displays it is almost impossible to see.  Please make this something that is much easier to maintain.  I use OneNote all day every work day since inception.  Selecting and moving text around is a common action.  Btw, the selected text inside this web page is blue background / white text.  And it is very easy to see.  Seems like a pragmatic solution is not too far away...

How do I reload the old OneNote? I find the lack of features a step backwards.
