Improve contrast in address bar
-
When text is selected in the address bar, there may be low contrast between background highlight color and white text color.
I've tested on several IPS displays and think it's an issue. It probably could be worse on VA/TN panels.
Reproduce:
- Go to Mac System Preferences, click on "General", select "Highlight color" to "Yellow"
- Open Vivaldi, type some text into address bar & select it
Expected behaviour:
- Good readable text in address bar
Actual behaviour:
- Hard to read text in address bar
Possible solutions?

Opera is just ignoring the color setting from Mac OS and always uses a light blue background & black text:

Chrome uses the color setting but the text is a bit bigger and more white (compared to Vivaldi where it's more greyish)
I think, even if with default setting for the color (blue) the contrast could be better. So I'd recommend to change the color of highlighted text to white and maybe increase font size a bit (relative to UI scale) - so exactly what Chrome does.
