Live CSS panel - colours hard to see.
How to change ?

Click image for larger version Name: Screenshot 2024-02-27 105252.jpg Views: 65 Size: 562.4 KB ID: 206600

I use the default settings - dark-wombat. Nothing in Preference>Editor-Settings seemed to match dark purple on black. If I select one of the other colour schemes CSS Live is still dark purple on black

It's a while since i used Live CSS, but I'm sure it was easier to see in the past.

I have this on Preview Settings (button right below Editor Settings):

Background/Foreground Color -> No change

They don't appear have any effect on the Live CSS panel either. Apart from Preview I think the colours are fixed for the subsidiary panels.

Oh, I see. I thought you could be referring to the file preview...

In that case, I agree it's hard to see on the default settings, so I've tried creating a custom color scheme, but I can't tell which rule would change the dark-purple bit to a lighter tone

Have to wonder if the QT developers try to be too clever by half.
