Windows 8.1 Search selection highlighting not working properly

Question

I have a rather peculiar issue after doing a fresh win8.1 reinstall on my vaio sa3 notebook. Basically whats bothering me that if I use the windows search, i.e. +typing or +S, you expect the current selected item in the list to have a different background to highlight its selected. However this highlighting doesn't work at all anymore.

Any ideas what might cause this?

Actually found the solution by myself (not by googling just by checking everything that came to my mind).

Actually the solution was very simple and I already wanted to delete this question but then I thought, maybe there are other people like me that just can't figure it out, so here's my solution:

Start Page -> Charms Bar -> Settings -> Personalize: Select a different accent color than the background color, otherwise the "highlight selection" background will look exactly like the normal background and thus cannot be seen.
