Low Contrast for Selected Text

Open natewiebe13 opened this issue 5 months ago • 2 comments

The difference between selected vs unselected text while on a token is too similar, causing me to not be sure if the text is selected or not:

Caret on token:

Token selected:

This is almost worse if the token has multiple occurrences near each other;

Middle $this selected:

I feel like perhaps selected text being a color rather than a slightly different grey would be more legible.

Sorry for the delayed fix — please try v1.17.3.

You broke dracula theme :(

Good contrast (old version): Image

Bad contrast (new version): Image

The new background is visually indistinguishable from the editor's background. This is very bad.

I agree you, too!!!

I think the new version is worse; it's hard to distinguish the selected text. It would be better to highlight the selected text.

Sorry for the delayed fix — please try v1.17.3.
