Can you fix this as part of the accessibility improvements you are working on.

I'll check. The problem there is that selection takes the color of the item, so dark ones (black, dark grey, etc.) are not visible in dark mode. So we either make the selection a single color, or somehow detect specific colors and act on that

I prefer single color. How was it solved in the old ux because there we had no problems.

Should be a simple change here. @niels9001 any suggestion which system color to use?
