Unfortunately, the extensions aren't configurable today, but I can add
.hxx to the hard-coded values for now.  At least that one will work in
our next release.

You can configure the highlighting similarly to vim's.  Create a file
called ~/.cgdb/cgdbrc, and add lines like this:

   hi SelectedLineNr ctermbg=Blue ctermfg=White

That would make the currently selected line show up in white against
a blue background, just as an example.  The highlight group names are
documented in cgdb's online help (:help) in section 5.1.
