Highlight color of searched or selected text #159

Is it possible to dynamically invert the search selection or drag-select text colors for easier readability?

I could add a button that sets the text color as the background color and the background color as the text color… It’s not exactly inverting as it was done in earlier computer graphics, but it would achieve the same effect.

Not certain that would achieve the desired result. Currently your highlight scheme works fine, just needs different colors instead of the slight off black background for easier recognition.

QPrompt 1.0.0-beta-001 and QPrompt 1.0.0-beta-002 had a different highlight that used solid colors, which provide greater contrast. I moved away from that style of highlighting because it makes it impossible to tell when you've set a custom font or background color, but I think it could be used in specific use cases, such as when the search bar or search and replace is open.

Theoretically, any colors can be used for text selection. I cannot invert the colors that easily though. That would require using a shader, which is one of those things I'm holding off on doing until after the transition to Qt 6.

Can we choose the selection background color from a palette like the 'set color' option in the Background menu?

I've figured out a super simple way to achieve this: I can make the text selection colors different when the Find bar is showing, and revert back to the current colors when it is closed.

I've used the colors from the screenshot you've sent, I think that was a great color choice!
