    Hi all!
    Is there a way to set foreground displayed text color for Compare plugin color bars?
    I’m using a dark theme (Deep Black) and the default character color is white.
    But white does not shows well on the bars color backgrounds (white-on-yellow ??).
    I would like to set characters foreground color at the Compare plugins bars to a dark color (black would be nice).
    Is there any way to do this?

      AFAIK, no. It inherits its foreground color from the active theme.

      Then change the background colors to make it something compatible with your theme. The colors that Compare (or better, switch to ComparePlus, which is the next version of that plugin, with significant improvements in performance and behavior) uses were optimized for light background with dark text. If you have a theme with a dark background and light text, I would suggest you change the background colors (which can be set in the Plugins > Compare/ComparePlus > Settings dialog) to darker highlights… maybe a dark green, dark purple, dark navy, dark brown, dark orange, rather than the default light versions of those colors.

        Done, thanks!
