Default theme - Primary selection is not distinct?

[alancwoo]

I'm on helix 25.01.1 (e7ac2fcd) on Mac OS Sequoia 15.4.1 with zsh 5.9

On both Wezterm 0.1.0 and iTerm 3.5.13beta1, I'm unable to tell which item is the primary selection in the default theme (in the tutorial):

where other themes do work properly:

Is there something I'm missing or misconfiguring?

No, you are correct. In that theme they have the same color:

"ui.selection" = { bg = "#540099" }
"ui.selection.primary" = { bg = "#540099" }
...
"ui.cursor.select" = { bg = "delta" }
"ui.cursor.primary.select" = { bg = "delta" }

I see, strange choice no? Thank you though, I was able to just copy the default theme and adjust it accordingly.

I was able to just copy the default theme and adjust it accordingly.

In case you don't know, you can inherit themes:

inherits = "default"

"ui.selection.primary" = {bg = "#aaaaaa"}
"ui.cursor.primary.select" = {bg = "#bbbbbb"}

Put this in ~/.config/helix/themes/my_theme.toml.
