More contrast on content assist [message #1436201]

This has bugged me for many years - I'm amazed it has persisted

In a Content Assist popup, the "highlighted" item can be very difficult to distinguish (definitely on WIndows - Linux is much better). The highlighted item is slightly darker and has a dim line around it. What makes it worse is if your mouse happens to be over the popup - which is often because you need to put the cursor on the line of interest for the content assist - the line under the mouse is highlighted MUCH more - but it is not the "official selection". In the attached example image, the first entry is the current selection (not the third). If I pressed <return> I'd apply the first item. It's hard to tell!! I am sooo tired of pressing my arrow keys just to confirm the current selection.

Prefs->Appearance only seems to let be change the general color but not the highlight emphasis. Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Steve
