suggestion

Currently selecting messages in message list shows the selection with the same background color. However the readability of the lines for messages with certain color tags is greatly reduced as a result of this (e.g. blue on blue, green on blue etc.)

It would be better if the background color of selected items is determined by the color tag itself while the foreground remains white (or whatever suits the color theme background for non-selected items).

Attaching a quick draft of the suggestion

*The line with 2018-11-06 [16:36] should obviously be black BG, white FG (missed that while preparing the example)
