Fix the background color when hilighting c++ error line in output.

[monamimani]

The red on blue text is really hard to read.

Can this be fixed?

I have the same problem
As shown below, when I use the dark theme, selecting a message causes the background color of the line to change to blue, which makes it very difficult to read the red text.

There seems to be a relevant reference here

This is indeed very annoying, I'm surprised no one else has mentioned it. In other issues about the color scheme the author suggests going into the extension install dir and editing the theme files (.json files) directly, but those only set the foreground colors, not background/selection.

The only thing I've found that works is to change the "current list location" color for the output window (Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Fonts and Colors -> Output Window). None of the 3 "selected text" items seem to have any effect, and the current list location background color is disabled, but if you set the foreground color to a non-default color, that color will take over when the line is double-clicked.
