Codemirror's bespin theme has very bad selection highlight

[stdedos]

Hello there,

I am using the bespin theme for the CodeMirror editor. However, one very frustrating aspect of this, is that it has very bad visual feedback on selection

I was wondering - is this something you'd consider changing locally?
Or should I ask upstream?

Looks like you may have another style that overrides the theme. You can either disable it or override it by making a new style:

.cm-s-bespin div.CodeMirror-selected {background: #fff !important;}

Well - it produces something here too - but it's extremely weak. 😕
I could maybe check this via my Windows monitor, but I am not a monitor-calibration connoisseur by any means 😅

I thought, however, that the screenshot I posted should've eliminated the problem.
Isn't it so that, "whatever my monitor may display, taking a screenshot should be on a different level"?
Like e.g. - if I had changed my display's RGB balance, it shouldn't show up on a screenshot (I think)

Indeed, I don't see anything in your screenshot, whereas I clearly see the weak selection here. Then it may be a bug in the browser or OS, applying the wrong calibration curve. Try changing chrome://flags/#force-color-profile flag or change your monitor's profile to sRGB.

Well, idk:

There might've been an issue with how the screenshot was taken (Ubuntu is not exactly ... accurate, unless you go for the fullscreen+later crop), but you also have to account for the "highlighting of the other instances" selection 😕

This new screenshot is showing some differences, while the old screenshot didn't. Anyway, this is how this theme is designed. If you want it changed, write a new userstyle as I suggested above or maybe suggest fixing it in the CodeMirror repository.
