Compare plugin in notepad++ is too bright. Any fix?

Anyway to choose a better color scheme for the notepad++ compare feature?

I can't read any of it!!

I tried to report the bug on sourceforge but couldn't figure out how to make a new ticket and gave up.

The latest version of the Compare plugin (and possibly older versions, but I haven't checked) allows you to configure the background colors under Plugins → Compare → Settings.

I just edited the color setting of Compare plugin manually, and found the setting is stored in ComparePlugin.ini at %APPDATA%/Notepad++/plugins/config.

My own color setting is below (for vim Dark Blue style):

[Colors]
Added=32768
Removed=8388608
Changed=8388736
Moved=16744448
Highlight=65535
...

Go to Settings => Style Configurator and play around with : Select Theme or Global Styles.

Hope that will help you. Good luck.
