Selected comment lines are very hard to read

Thanks for the request!
Unfortunately, I'm not sure what I can do about that. The syntax highlighting (comment color) and the workbench/editor theming (selection color) are independently of each other, and there is no way to change the comment color only when selected.

@alexanderbast Which of those do you want me to subscribe to? https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+theming 😄

@alexanderbast there have been a few additions to https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/theme-color-reference recently, any chance you now have what it needs to fix this?

Unfortunately not: microsoft/vscode#36490. I'm subscribed to this issue and will implement this as soon as possible.

@alexanderbast Could you maybe give an example on how to change the comment color? The instructions only tell me what settings properties to use, but not what colors (names?) are available and how to specify them (hex string?).

I love the Plus w/ Italics but the comments (even without selection) are really too dark for me. In my repository the comments are valuable and I want to be able to read them clearly.

Never mind I think I can figure it out from looking at your JSON file. Still, I think it would be helpful to put some of it in the instructions.

And now I realize Snazzy Plus comes from a different extension 😄 Anyway, if it is useful to anyone this is how you change the color of comments:

"editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
    "[Snazzy]": {
      "comments": "#fff"
    }
  },
