Answer 1

The Category you are looking for is Mark Occurrences, but it is language specific so you won't find it under All Languages. You will see it when you change the Language to Java for instance. Then you have to change the Background field on the right hand side.

Answer 2

For anyone still bothered with this, in NetBeans 8.0 you will find it under specific JAVA language in Tools-Options-Fonts&Colors-Syntax-Mark Occurences.

Else... very annoying and stressful for a dark theme, indeed.
