For those interested in how the background color is computed, here is the algorithm:
1. Parse the Leo theme's style sheet and extract the body text foreground and background colors. 2. If the theme has a light background, use a slightly darker color; if the theme bg is dark, use a slightly lighter color. Keep the hue the same, only changing the intensity (change only V in the HSV triple). If the bg color is not specified, guess based on the fg color (currently this is a very simple minded guess).. 3. If the theme's bg color is very dark, use a larger change in intensity than otherwise (because the minimum perceptible change seems to be larger in the V value for very dark colors). Please let us know how the highlighting works for you!
