How to change the color of Visual Studio 2005/2008 current line highlight bar?

I searched the options->colors and fonts for a setting for the current line highlight bar but couldn't find it.

Anyone knows where it's located or are there any VS add-ons which can change the color of the bar?

Do you mean the "Current Statement" that is highlighted in yellow by default during debug step through?

Select "Tools -> Options" menu item.
Select "Environment -> Fonts and colors" from the tree view on left.
Select "Current Statement" in "Display items" list box, then change the "Item background" color.
Press OK.

No. I want to change the color of the highlight when I am coding.
Do you get a color bar on the current line?
Actually, no. Not on VS2005. Is this for a specific language/type of file, or do you mean for any kind of file? Which version of Visual Studio is it, 2005 or 2008? You've specified both...

It was a Resharper (a third party add-on) setting. Sorry.
