If this is a theme setting I can change, I can’t find it-
I would simply like the selected commit in the commits column to be brightly highlighted in the commit column itself.
Take a look at the image- this shows the “selected commit”, a “non-selected commit”, and a “hovered-over commit” - as you can see, there’s just a slight tone change-
Any way to make this much more obvious?
Cheers!
In the default dark theme selected commits are brighter. Are you using a custom theme or have you perhaps modified the built-in one?
The screenshot is actually showing a different theme I was trying to fix the issue- but historically I have been using the built-in dark theme. I’m on MacOS Ventura if it matters- and it seems not controlled by any system-level coloring. (I’ve changed those around trying to fix this too). Same behavior on 2 different machines… I can’t be the only one who can’t deal with this?
Here’s a shot from the other machine with the default dark theme:
This is what it looks like on my end:
Does it happen in safe mode (hold down the Option key when starting Sublime Merge, or run smerge --safe-mode)?
Yeah- that’s as bad as mine- how can I change that???
In safe mode without changing the theme, the selected commit has a nice easy-to-see blue background:
(but I’d like to use a dark theme)
Only way to change it is to customize the theme, see https://www.sublimemerge.com/docs/themes
Yes I figured that, and can certainly manage that, but I can’t seem to figure out which element it is.
Setting "log_control_tree": true under Preferences > Edit Settings… lets you ctrl+alt+mouse1 click on any element and the tree of controls will be logged in the console (Tools > Show Console).

Those bg and fg values look fine in RGB values (dark gray, and light gray), but something is overriding the actual values … maybe the tint?

This is the part you should be looking at.
