Syntax highlighting of inherited variables has very low contrast in dark themes

[Minh-Trng]

Variables that are inherited from a base contract are shown in dark blue. This does not work well with dark themes (either default or the one that comes with the extension (see variable eigenPodManager):

• Default Dark Modern:
  

• Solidity Visual Developer Dark
  

Definitely works slightly better on the second one, but both are straining to the eyes imo

I agree++. I was looking for a way to change the color of dark blue semantic highlighting for inherited things to something more visible.

The documents currently seem to say that the colors are set in stone: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=tintinweb.solidity-visual-auditor

"
Solidity-va.deco.statevars ... decorate statevars in code view (golden, green, blue boxes)
Solidity-va.deco.arguments ... enable/disable or select the mode for semantic highlighting of function arguments. (default: 'enable' = 'color and arrow')
Solidity-va.deco.argumentsMode ... select the mode for semantic highlighting of function arguments (may require a reload)
Solidity-va.deco.argumentsSuffix ... a custom Suffix/Symbol that is appended to the decoration when performing semantic highlighting for function arguments
"

Fix: Change Inherited State Var color (you can also change other colors if you want):

1. Locate the extension on your machine. I'm using WSL and I found mine simply at home/.vscode-server/extensions/tintinweb.solidity-visual-auditor-0.2.0. If you are viewing this later, the version or naming might be slightly different.
2. Go into src/features/deco.js
3. Search for darkblue. Line 627 has the darkblue CSS decoration style, change it to whatever color you want, like aqua.
4. Reload your project in VSCode and the color should update.

For some reason there is no color on my inherited functions, which were also dark blue. (But I think this is a general bug with VSCode because inherited functions sometimes simply don't register properly).

@alexbabits great find! Will leave the issue open, so you can do a PR that changes the defaults if you want to :)
