#63 Differences highlighting needs more contrast, so it is easier to spot
Hello, nice that you support just pasting the texts to compare, not only files compare.
When i pasted the texts and clicked to find a differences, these differences are hard to spot, because the highlighting of the differences is not enough contrast. Either use bold text or more contrast color like white background.
You can customise the colours using a resource file. Resources are described in chapter 4 of the manual: http://diffuse.sourceforge.net/manual.html
To quickly try it out, create a ~/.config/diffuse/diffuserc file (or %HOME%.config\diffuse\diffuserc on Microsoft Windows) with the following contents then restart Diffuse (of course, you will likely wish to choose some more pleasing colours):
color difference_1 1.0 0.0 0.0
float line_difference_alpha 0.5
color contrast seems better IRRC, should be by default for everyone
