Dear Codex Team,

I am writing to provide feedback regarding the UI update in version 0.105.

In the latest version, the background colors for added and deleted code lines have been changed to a high-intensity red and green. While I understand this was intended to make changes more intuitive, the current colors are far too vibrant and saturated. This causes significant eye strain and makes it very difficult to read the actual code.

Could you please consider adding an option to:

Disable these background colors entirely, or
Adjust/lower the color intensity (saturation/opacity) to a more eye-friendly level?

Thank you for your hard work and for considering my feedback.

Best regards,
HCID274
