how do I change the --highlight-line color from command line?

[amigthea]

I want to make the background of that line more bright, how could I achieve that?

[keith-hall]

currently it's not possible from the command line, see https://github.com/sharkdp/bat/issues/339

*unless cloning the theme's git repo/submodule, using sed to change the color, and building the bat custom assets counts...

is this still the case ?
