[Run] Mouse hover color enhancement

[dougwl]

Environment

PowerToys v0.33.1 (DarkMode On)
Windows 10 - 20h2

Steps to reproduce

Make any search with more than one result in PT Run, the keyboard selected option will have the same color as the item hovered by the mouse.

Expected behavior

It would be nice to have a distinction between the colors of the selection and the mouse hover, or maybe additionally even hide the mouse hover when you start navigating using the keyboard.

Actual behavior

The colors are the same.

@dougwl What is your system's accent color? On my system, my highlight is blue which corisponds to selected and mouse hover is grey, I tested on light and dark mode and both worked as expected

• I'm on 0.35, fyi

Hi, @crutkas, thanks for looking into my suggestion.
So, I've updated to 0.35 to be safe and changed my accent color, and yes that does change the selection color as can be seen in the screenshot below, but if I want to keep my current color or any other similar, I'm bound to keep having this problem.

Maybe, this can be solved making the mouse hover based on a gradient between the current accent and the default one from PT Run?
Luminance or analagous colors are other options, since this would avoid problems if the two colors are very similar.

In light mode, it is near impossible it seems like to get into trouble BUT this really shows up in dark mode but we're following base WinUI guidance for how colors work in dark mode.

Seeing where this feedback needs to be directed

This was fixed with the redesign of Run
