Bug Description

Hi all!

This is just a wishlist bug, but the dark mode in Gedit on Ubuntu doesn't work well for me. In dark mode, the highlight color and the text color are very similar, and the lack of contrast makes it difficult to the see text. Perhaps changing the highlight color to purple or something else to enhance contrast would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Ubuntu 20.04
Installed: 3.36.2-0ubuntu1
