Thx for the feedback, Tony.

I did check out this and also had a look at the examples in the wiki.

This does not work as I want it to work. Maybe my explanation is not quite
clear. Let's take as example my fold colour. If text is folded in, the colour
is a light grey with turquise text. Standard text is light grey on a black
background. The column and line hightlighting is set to quite dark greys to
not interfere too much. Unfortunately the movement of the line and column can
be seen on the folded lines (and other non dark background) This movement in
one's perifiral vision is distracting. What I thus basically want is for the
line and column highlighting to move down in the layers to just above the
standard background and thus remain below the folding background colour (or
another example, the TODO/FIXME colour).

Best regards,

Frans
