I’ve looked through the settings and couldn’t find anything specific to the history bar except turning it off all together which i don’t want.
Settings > Style Configurator > Language: Global Styles > Style: Change History margin and related. Searching the user manual page about Preferences for “change history” will find first the on/off control description, then the description of how to change the colors.

By implementing this feature, the darkmode may not be considered and that makes this side effect.
@PeterJones can you confirm it?
There are two ways to handle bringing in the new style entries from stylers.model.xml: either I could just bring in the entire entry, so that all themes that are missing a given entry will then inherit the same color that is in stylers.model.xml (which will make the new entries stick out like a sore thumb, but that might nudge the user to go find all those new jarring colors, and assign values that are more to their liking); or, if the active theme has a dark background by default I could look up the Default Style’s foreground and background for that theme, and assign those as the foreground and background colors for all new style entries (so that all the new styles will be completely unnoticed by the user, and they won’t ever notice that the feature brought in the new styles).
So the first makes it jarring, but noticeable; the second won’t be as jarring, but people might not know that they’ve got a lot of new style colors that they could set to their liking to get better highlighting in many languages (and a few new GUI colors).
Right now, it’s implemented as the first. If you want, I could change it to the second: it’s a bit more effort, but it’s doable.
