Changing Opera's source search highlighting color?

Question

I'm running Opera 12.01 and the highlighting color for source searching is a very very faint gray - barely distinguishable.

After looking at this thread How to change Opera's source search highlighting color? I tried adding that line of code and re-zipping it with the default windows compressor. Completely screwed it up, program fails right away once started.

I get a black prompt, hardly readable with the "send report" option. I know cause I've gotten that Opera crash screen before, so I recognize the partial prompts I can actually read, but otherwise I wouldn't know what that prompt is about.

So I reverted back to the old zip. I tried a different program to zip, and that seemed to indeed change the content of the ini in the .zip file, however when I start the browser though - the highlight doesn't change color. Any ideas?

I made sure the is correctly entered. Copied/pasted directly from the skin.ini file (inside the standard_skin.zip file)
