Could you add an option for highlight current line to make it be a solid color instead of a gradient? It currently takes my setting of RGB(230,240,255) and is tweaking the colors to make it into a visually appealing gradient using a couple samples of at least RGB(233,242,255) up through RGB(243,248,255):
It stands out and is distracting to my eyes for some reason. Is there a way to add an option to make it just be whatever we set the VA Current Line colors to (in my case make it all RGB(230,240,255))?

Or maybe give it a slider from 0..max about how much to alter the color. I wouldn't mind some of that, but right now it looks like a thick upper and lower border to me, with a distractingly highlighted bit of text in the middle, where the character extents (top of f, top and bottom of (, for example) run into the thick borders, and the middle.

If you turn Off:
VA Options -> Highlighting -> Highlight current line with:
and turn On:
IDE Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> General -> Highlight current line
you can set the foreground and background colour used by the IDE via:
IDE tools menu -> Options -> Environment -> Fonts and Colors -> Display items = Highlight Current Line
and it looks like it uses a solid highlight without any gradient. |

When I do that it's closer, but it has a thick solid border around the outside. I'm not sure how to shut that off. I set both colors to RGB(230,240,255), and it produces the highlight line like 191 below:

Do you have a colour picker utility installed? I am using the colour picker component from Microsoft PowerToys.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/
I set the IDE highlight current line to use Cyan, RGB value of rgb(0, 255, 255), and the border came up as rgb(191, 255, 255)
So I went into the IDE settings, and kept the border as Cyan, and set the background to the custom shade rgb(191, 255, 255), which turns into Cyan when it is shaded to the border shade.
Not the most obvious solution, but once you have the line at the colour you want, just pick the two colours with a colour picker, and then you can them so they both end up as the same shade. |

My father's been in the hospital and rehab, so I'm just getting back to this.
An interesting suggestion. I wouldn't have thought of it I don't think. Here's what I wound up using to get the desired effect:
1. Turn off VA highlight line.
2. Turn on Visual Studio highlight line.
3. Set the colors thusly:
That works. Thank you!
