Highlight colours should be adjustable from GUI #50

File->Editor->Colours

I see only 4 adjustable colours. There should be more.

For example I want to adjust that faint yellowish background of other matches of the text being searched to something more visible. I also don't see the relevant settings in ~/.enki/enki.json.

(Actually I started creating a screenshot to demonstrate what I want for "Highligh other matches / highlight usages of the identifier" and suddenly noticed that there is already highlighting for searching, faint enough for me to overlook it at the first glance - the netbook screen is poor in displaying colours)

About matches highlighting color - this might be QScintilla problem. I try to use rich yellow color, like in Chromium. But, QScintilla shows it differently on different versions. On some platforms yellow is too colourless.

When not fixing bugs and not making minor improvements, I'm working on new code editor component, which will support colors adjustment and fix some other problems. https://github.com/hlamer/qutepart https://github.com/hlamer/enki/issues?milestone=4&state=open
