Change highlight of current selected line

Question

I can't really read text on the currently highlighted line when it is selected.

How can I configure this to take the bg color of my choice ?

Thanks.

See :highlight command. You need to change CurrLine color group, e.g.:

highlight CurrLine cterm=reverse,bold ctermfg=default ctermbg=default

This does not solve my issue. The highlight group of CurrLine is working correctly, the problem is the text of the selected line when I stand on a selected line.

You can see on my screenshot that I can't read the text of the line I stand on when it is highlighted.

When I don't highlight/select the current line it is just fine:

Oh, you mean that Selected and CurrLine combine into something unreadable. You can't handle the "selected+current" case separately. Depending on how you have defined relevant color groups, you can try swapping colors for Selected, adding reverse to it and adding combine to CurrLine.

I think I have achieved this in my colorscheme. You can take a look at my colorscheme here
