It all depends what you mean by “highlight” and by “current line”.
If you press “Ctrl+K,L”, you’ll select the “current line”.
You can then format that selection with a specific highlight color.

I see now that my question was ambiguous.

So lets try this:

When I click on a line I want the background color of that line to change so it will be more visible.

When I select a different line I want that new current line to have it's background color changed and the previously selected line to automatically revert back.

thanks

There is nothing like this in Atlantis, but you’ll select the current line of text if you aim at it from the left margin until the mouse pointer changes into an arrow, then click.

Also you can use the Tools | Options > Colors tab to change the colors used to display the document text and the page background (among other elements of the document window). Please have a look at Colors Settings

HTH.

I've not taken the time to test this program out, but one that might work well for you is called Line Reader. Get it and download a trial copy at http://www.bitsdujour.com/software/line-reader

I've been meaning to try it on my HP Slate.
