It should be possible in some way, but I haven't had the endurance to find out 
how. You can see some tries in cpphighlighting.cpp, that's the place where 
most of the code-highlighting happens, except for the one special 
highlighting you talk about, that happens in the context-browser. We need a 
way of making sure that the contrast between text and its background stays 
readable. The simple way of solving the context-browser highlighting problem 
would be just changing the text-color of the highlighted text as well so it's 
readable on the yellow.
