Today upon booting up an assembly in Inventor, I realized that now when I select a part, it is highlighted with just some blue outlines. It used to be solid blue when I selected a part. I looked through all of my options to no avail. What changed?

Application options -> colors tab
In the lower left section called "highlight" is "Enable Enhanced Highlighting" box checked?

No restart needed.
In my case if i have both checkboxes checked there i get a solid highlighting color.
If the "enhanced highlight" is unchecked i get the colored lines.

Thats odd i had both checked when I started and was getting the blue lines. Now I have them both checked again and I'm getting the solid blue highlight that I wanted. Either way, thanks for the help.
Little late to the party 🙂
Sometimes you'll get highlighting from the selection on the material library.
E.G. your part is set to polished steel, yet off part the default material is set to brass, you'll have brass yellow highlighting.
Just something I've picked up on over time.
