If you can debate the colour of the text highlight, I can debate its importance surely?

Yes of course, but it wasn’t me who suggested we stop discussing it. In regards to the color it may well be subjective so I see little point in arguing that.But the more important issue is in regards to contrast which is to do with useability and accessibility - not so subjective.

Changing the selection color period is a cosmetic change, and has very little to do with usability or accessibility.
Usability wise, most people are already used to the defaults their OS/browser provides, so changing it makes no difference other than to fit your sites style.
Accessibility depends on what accessibility tools (applications, browsers, extensions, contrast mode) are used by the user, but in some cases, you changing the selection can interfere with those (it's rare).
As was mentioned previously, you can set the default selection color with almost no effort to the primary, secondary or any other color you wish in CSS, so debating something that comes down to individual preference serves very little purpose.
Code:
::-moz-selection{
background:hsl(var(--xf-editorSelectionBg));
color:hsl(var(--xf-editorSelectionColor))
}
.fr-wrapper ::selection{
background:hsl(var(--xf-editorSelectionBg));
color:hsl(var(--xf-editorSelectionColor))
}There you go.

Rude? For pointing out that trivialities really aren't worth bickering over and, as has been mentioned, can easily be modified? Hardly...

Look, i've had my fair share of infractions for being rude myself on here. The staff here run this as a business forum.
i suggest you read the rules they have set. Just so you don't cop an infraction and 3 days off.
Keep the childish spats off here.
it's not your forum where you might abuse others on there.
You still have a chance to say it for XF3.0

The purpose is that after selecting text I want to be able to read what I selected. I find that very difficult, maybe it is something wrong with my eyes, so all I'm doing is giving feedback that I would like more contrast. It could well be that my eyes are compromised.

Nothing wrong with your eyes - it hurts mine as well.

That lime green is a little off putting.
But do a check with your users to see how offputting the lime is that you use for the dark mode and get them to pick something else.
if you like citrus colours try different shades of orange.
It might be that you're noticing your colourblind.
It's not an issue as i check with my members if they have colour blindness.

Abuse? For stating an opinion...that's a new one.
It's a very minor issue with a very easy fix, it seems completely disingenuous to attempt to attack those who say as much or who point out that it can easily be rectified.

And mine (whether I'm wearing my glasses, contacts or naked eye). There needs to be more contrast.

Maybe it is rude to call polite comments and feedback (as requested by the thread) “bickering.”
