No distinction between selection and enclosure colors #15

Open Forage opened 11 years ago

Forage commented 11 years ago

The colors used for selections and enclosures are identical, or too similar, to properly see what is actually selected.

Suppose you have the following php code:

    <?php
        foreach ($files as $file) {
            echo "Narf!";
        }
    ?>

If you select $files as $file, starting at the end, it will look like you selected $files as $file).

Would it be possible to use a different color to highlight either the selection or the enclosure highlighting?

Have you tried resetting your Netbans settings to default and importing Solarized again? Because I don't have this type of problem - braces are clearly distinguishable from selections. Also you can change it yourself: options -> fonts and colors -> "highlighting" tab -> "Braces matching (match, single character)" or "Selected Text"-> change background color to whatever you want.

"Braces matching (match, single character)" is set to 49,54,65 and "Selected Text" is 7,54,66. These two are hard to distinguish from each other. Are these the default values for the light theme? If yes, then I think it would be good to make them less similar.
