Selected text is nearly unperceivable in Light theme

[Nakashio]

The text background color change is hard to notice, as the color is close to the normal background color. Probably not intended...

Similar but not quite as bad with selected braces color ("Brace highlight style").

I observed the same issue for the light theme. I resolved it by changing the bgColor value in the following line:

    <WidgetStyle name="Selected text colour" styleID="0" bgColor="FDF8E9" />

to EEE8D5, which is the code for the "Base2" background tone. This is still a subtle shading, but it works well for me.

Been a long while, but hey, thanks for replying. :)

As for myself, for the selected text color background I went with white (noticeable though not quite as pretty). Playing with it, shades of non-dark gray can also work well, as does your 'light brown'-ish color (I'd probably use a slightly darker version of it to be more noticeable without straining my eyes).
And for the brace highlight style I just went with an obvious orange (rgb 255,128.0), even outright red would work and might possibly be better I suppose.

I get that. I just went with a color from the pallet.   Douglas J. Renze drenze@gmail.com "Unless you are willing to do the ridiculous, God will not do the miraculous." - Mother Angelica
