Maya 2023 Modeling - Green Highlight

[Milosava]

If you hover over an already selected component in Maya 2023, it will become highlighted in green. 

Is there anyway to disable this? I find it hard to to focus when modeling. 

Thank you,

Milos

Perhaps subjective, quite contrary here, as it shows what element will be affected by the next click.

You can disable it in Prefs > Selection > PreselectionHighlight

Alternatively, you could probably change highlighting colors to be less distractive to your taste, however I could not find the second color option for Preselection-highlight-selected; must be buried somewhere

I don’t have any issues with the red pre-selection, only the green highlight of an already selected component. I’ve gone through all of the colour settings and selection preferences and cannot find anything.

Seems like a feature you cannot turn off or customize which is odd because its new with 2023.

I hope theres someone who knows.

It is not new to M23; I have M19 and here the setting apparently isn't published for customization too.

Correct, this is not new but the "selected pre-select color" is not exposed for customization.

I files an issue for this: MAYA-122568 - Unable to customize pre-selection colors

I see... maybe I just had it turned off in Maya 2020 and 2022 and just forgot about it. Oh well, thanks for the help. I am just going to turn off the pre-selection.

Cheers.

Bumping this one.  You still cannot access the bright green color for preselection highlighting.  Please expose it, it is BLINDING.

In Maya 2023
Preferences - Display - Wireframe on shaded = None

This is for Wireframe, should be left at default.
