There is a breakpoint selection in the Annotations tab.

Tools -> Options -> Fonts & Colors -> Annotations Tab -> Breakpoint

Change the background color of this.

Edit: Change all of the Current Program Counter categories too, all of them will be run into in various scenarios.

Annotations Tab

Try the "Fonts & Colors" > "Annotions" tab.

Restart NetBeans (or re-open editors) for changes to take effect.

If you don't see highlighted lines, it's possible that the project settings aren't configured correctly.

E.g. when using a htaccess redirect from the root folder to folder myapplication, be sure to edit Project->Properties->Sources->Web Root to the redirect folder.

That solved the issue for me.
