You can do that now with the following macro:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Cells.Interior.ColorIndex = 0
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 36
End Sub
Note that this macro must be placed in the sheet module of every sheet you
want this to work on. To access that module, right-click on the sheet tab,
select View Code, and paste this macro into that module. "X" out of the
module to return to your sheet. Change the number of the color to suit.

I would love it if Excel highlighted the cell I was working in, instead of
just making the border bolder. I would also like to choose my own color
of
highlight.

This would make it so easy on my eyes and easier to find the cell when
looking back and forth from data to computer screen.
