Zotero 7 beta: Highlight colors are hardly visible against black background in dark mode

Looks great! Just one thing: When I highlight text in the PDFs with colors and night mode is switched on (here: Mac OS Sonoma) the highlight colors are hardly visible against the black background. Could you make the highlighter colors a bit stronger or less transparent?

Which specific colors? Or all of them? Could you add a screenshot?

First of all: sorry, my mistake. That was on an external samsung display. On the macbook pro display it looks much better, see screenshot (truetone turned off, brightness 50%). Here, all colors are brilliant. Yellow and grey might be a bit weak but color highlighting will probably always be a trade-off in dark mode, I assume. So, sorry for that, screenshot attached. Thanks a million, very great work overall!
