Proposal to increase contrast between FileColors (scopes) and UI background colour
Is there an existing issue outlining your improvement?
- [x] I have searched the existing issues and my improvement has not been raised yet.
What would you like to see added and/or changed?
I wondered if you'd consider reviewing the FileColor contrast between 3.4.2 and 3.5.2, please. I have noticed that the contrast with file colours changed in the last couple of versions and so it prompted me to compare the latest version with a recent(ish) version that I had installed.
I can see that between the 2 versions, those colours (Mocha) went from:
"FileColor": {
"Blue": "#333c57",
"Green": "#394545",
"Orange": "#4a3c40",
"Rose": "#493446",
"Violet": "#3c3e58",
"Yellow": "#4a4548"
},
to:
"FileColor": {
"Blue": "#232539",
"Green": "#242834",
"Orange": "#292533",
"Rose": "#282335",
"Violet": "#252639",
"Yellow": "#292835"
},
Picking green as an example there, the contrast ratio (when compared with the UI background) has gone from 1.77:1 to 1.2:1. For me personally, as a Mocha and Latte guy depending on my mood, the older colours had a good balance of contrast as well as alignment with Catppuccin.
I'm currently toying in my fork with the file_color macro to see if I can find the sweet spot that gets it close enough.
The last time I raised a similar issue (#134, thanks for your help that time too!) I'd never used GitHub Actions before. This time around, I do know them a little better and that means I don't need a Java build environment to fork and publish my own copy of this theme. Translation: I certainly wouldn't be offended if you told me that this was a conscious choice to make the theme align with the beauty of Catppuccin and I would be very happy maintaining my own fork if this isn't the right fit for this theme.
