Summary:

For people like me who prefer to code in a bright on dark environment/theme having a line (that already is in a light shade of colors by itself) overlayed with a bright yellow glossy block makes it very hard if not impossible under certain lighting conditions to read.
Xcode should thus either allow us to adjust the opacity of the warning/error line highlighters or (even better) choose adjust the opacity automatically based on the theme's colors.

Steps to Reproduce:

Set background color to dark gray (15%)
Set text color to bright gray (85%)
Write code that causes Xcode to mark it as either warning or error.

Expected Results:

Line remains readable.

Actual Results:

Quite the contrary.

Regression:
