Screenshots

When the feature "Settings → Accessibility Reading Aids → Change Colors" is
enabled, search results in the application are no longer visually highlighted.
This makes it difficult for users relying on high-contrast color schemes to
locate search matches, effectively hindering usability for people with visual
impairments.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open the application.
2. Go to Settings → Accessibility Reading Aids → Change Colors.
3. Activate custom colors (high-contrast mode).
4. Perform a search (e.g., Ctrl+F).
5. Observe that the search matches are not highlighted.

Expected Result:
Search results should remain highlighted and clearly visible, even when custom
colors or high-contrast modes are applied.

Actual Result:
Search results are not highlighted, making it difficult or impossible to
identify them.

Impact:
This significantly affects accessibility and usability for users relying on
high-contrast or custom color schemes.

Possible Workaround:
None known.
