VS Code: Poor contrast on selected text

[aquacash5]

It is very hard to see what text is selected on any theme.

I am using Aura Dark

Hi @aquacash5 , I believe the text selection can't be stronger, because some texts colorized by the syntax highlight can disappear in relation to the selection background.

@aquacash5 you can try to override it manually by using a color that fits better for you like:

"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
  "editor.selectionBackground": "#3d375e7f",
}

Thank you,

I find this works well for me

"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
    "[Aura Dark]": {
      "editor.selectionBackground": "#a277ff5f"
    }
  }
