Fixes #3137
Problem
Built-in highlightings of AvalonEdit are meant to be used on a white background, and look wrong on a dark one.
Solution
Any comments on the approach taken, its consistency with surrounding code, etc.
This PR changes the colors provided by a highlighting, unless that highlighting comes from ILSpy itself.
The color is tweaked in the HSL color space, inverting the luminosity and desaturating the color a bit (as recommended by Material Design). A few coefficients are applied, I chose them after trying various solutions, as I couldn't find a known algorithm for switching a color for use in dark mode anywhere.
Which part of this PR is most in need of attention/improvement?
I basically made up the color adjustment function out of nowhere. If you know something better, I'd like to know.
At least one test covering the code changed
This only contains UI changes.
Here are a few examples:
PowerShell:
JSON:
Turns out, HTML is handled by ILSpy's highlighting for XML.
