It depends on what /highlighted/ means to you. There is the Scilab's 
meaning -- as the current axes or figure are the default targets for 
forthcoming plots -- ; and the java meaning -- as the elements that have 
the java focus, as when we click on a figure, or in an axes, on a curve, 
etc. Both meanings do not match:

  * just clicking an an axes does not make it as the new default target
    for plotting
  * making a figure or axes the active ones for Scilab does not move and
    put the mouse's pointer on them.

For the Scilab meaning, gce() is made for your request.

twinkle() helps a lot to visually identify the current active entity gce().
