A theme for the note taking tool The Archive. It's clean with a focus on writing, but plays nicely with code.

Increase selected line contrast / use macOS default colors? #1

Am enjoying the theme!

One thing that goes against high contrast for me is the active selection:

Maybe there's a hue shift, but I have red/green deficiency and thus mostly see a slight contrast in background tone compared to the alternating background color, i.e. it's slightly darker. macOS does a great job with its inversion of text colors and the obvious accent/highlights:

Hey @DivineDominion – thanks for checking it out and the feedback.

Also for including a screenshot, because I've been using the theme only without alternating row colors and I overlooked that issue.

I was a bit hesitant to do the color inversion like on OSX, because I thought it would distract from the writing, but it's actually not bad:

Focussed state:

Unfocussed state:

(I also checked the colors with Accessible Colors and Sim Daltonism so those should work fine now)
