The easy way: Pick an alternative Color Scheme:

Preferences > Color Scheme > ...pick one

The more complicated way: Edit the current color scheme file:

Preferences > Browse Packages > Color Scheme - Default > ... edit the Color Scheme file you are using:

Looking at the structure of the XML, drill down into dict > settings > settings > dict >

Look for the key (or add it if it's missing): lineHighlight. Add a string with an #RRGGBB or #RRGGBBAA format.
