Improve contrast for similar editor background color #325

Open strarsis opened 7 years ago

strarsis commented 7 years ago

When a color is similar or even the same as the editor background color, it can be hard to discern that the color is actually the same. Maybe adding a white/black outline could help?

That's an interesting suggestion, I'm not sure how easy it'll be to assert that a color is similar to another color but in the worst case scenario we can make that border present for all colors, using the theme text color as we're sure it'll be contrasting enough with the editor's background.

I second that, adding a black/white/custom border to the color would make it easier to see on similar theme colors.
