Color scheme - change highlight color

#1

hello.

i asked this question in stack overflow, and received no answer.

i want some of the highlighting color of sublime text themes to be more intense.

  1. when i select a word, sublime text marks all instances of this word in the file. it marks it with very light square around the word. i want to know how to change color, make it more intense and if i can color the inside of the square.

  2. when the text sign is on one side of brackets / parenthesis, it marks both sides with very light underline. same thing - i want to know if and how i can control the color and intensity of this underline, and if i can also color above the underline (the entire character background).

I add 2 pictures of exactly what i mean, when i use the “Neon” color scheme: https://github.com/MattDMo/Neon-color-scheme

I am unsure if you can actually change the first color though.

it probably is possible to change the colors, since i see different colors in some of the built in plugins.

here is how highlight look like Espresso Libre color scheme:

I also want this. It seems the highlight property was added to themes in SublimeText 3 that allows you to the change the border color independently of the caret color which is great. But now I want a property to apply a background color to the highlights independently of the selection color. I understand selection can be used to do this but the issue is it’d be nice if selection is explicitly for the first word you select with the mouse and we get a highlightBorder, highlightForeground and highlight property that behave as follows:

All independent of selection

  • highlight: Changes the background color of the text
  • highlightForeground: Changes the foreground color of the text.
  • highlightBorder: same as what highlight is now.
