Focus background colour is wrong on Tips dropdown in dark themes in WebStorm

[jmikitova]

When dropdown appears, the first element is focused with the correct background colour - I can clearly distinguish it from other elements in the list.

However, when I navigate thorough the list, background on the focused element is the same as the other elements in the list (but focus itself works fine, I see whole text where ellipsis was before)

This is Deep Ocean Theme, and It doesn't work also with GitHub Dark Theme (and possibly with others, I only use Deep Ocean Theme).

However, when I switch f.e. to Monokai theme, I see that the first element when the dropdown appears is lighter

But when I start navigating, the colour changes to darker - the colour of the editor.
With those dark themes the colour of the editor and dropdown elements is the same, so there is no contrast.

So maybe it is just about the defining those colours better.
I tried to find whether I can change it myself in WebStorm, but didn't succeed.

As I'm using the tips all the time, this is a bit frustrating. Do you thing the bug is in the plugin or somewhere on my side?

This is something relatively new from a poll, which is using darker contrast to highlight the current choice rather than lighter as it always was. This is also what's happening in vscode.

By the way if the color of the completion popup doesn't suit you, you can change it in the color scheme settings by looking at the property "documentation"

Thank you! I set it to the lighter colour so the focus is visible now.
