Theme Color Schemes
I noticed that the color schemes on certain themes (like WdC Default and the Alice in Wonderland themes, for example) have a nice, distinctive differentiation in highlight color. New emails, for example, appear as yellow when unread and purple when read for the WdC Default, or pink for unread and gray when read for the Alice in Wonderland themes... but for many of the other themes, the highlight color is very similar to the regular color... for example, Ocean Blue is light blue for read, and slightly lighter blue for unread. Acrylic Blue is light purple for read, and light blue for unread. Leaves #1 is a light blue for read, and a light khaki for unread.

Is there a plan to make these highlight colors a more stark contrast to the regular color? I love so many of the new themes, but don't like to use them because it's hard for my eyes to make a clear distinction (especially in email) between old and new items, since the colors are so similar in brightness, hue, etc.

I love the contrast the complementary color highlight offers for the WdC default theme (pairing a yellow highlight with purple). Maybe the same complementary color highlight could be added to the other themes, so blue themes have an orange highlight, green themes have a reddish highlight, etc.?

Just a thought. Thanks for listening! *Bigsmile*
