Issue
In High Contrast Mode, text selection in Monaco Editor is not visible across multiple PowerToys components:
This makes the editor difficult to use for users with accessibility needs who depend on High Contrast Mode.
Solution
Added CSS styles that specifically handle text selection in High Contrast Mode to:
src/Monaco/index.html)src/modules/registrypreview/RegistryPreviewUILib/Assets/RegistryPreview/index.html)The implementation uses:
@media (forced-colors: active)media query to detect when the system is in High Contrast ModeHighlightandHighlightTextto ensure proper contrast in all High Contrast themes!importantdirective to override default Monaco stylesThese changes ensure that text selection is visible regardless of the High Contrast theme applied by the user.
Fixes #13.
