highest-rated-comment has a red background in comment header

[omBratteng]

While looking at issues on GitHub, I noticed that some comments has a bright red background header, where it was dark green before.
E.g. this comment
vercel/swr#93 (comment)

Refined GitHub seems to somehow change the css variables definition

When I disable Refined GitHub, it is back to being the default black header background.

Either you have a faulty style sheet somewhere or you’re victim of a bad push at GitHub. That’s an obvious bug and that code is not part of refined GitHub 😃

Same here. GitHub change something since last night my css looks a drop off (all over)

[yakov116]

Found the issue. if you have the preview enabled.

[omBratteng]

I can confirm, it is the Dark High Contrast feature. Disabling it brought back the green header.

[fregante]

My guess is that, since this is a feature preview, GitHub is using red to be able to spot those colors across the site.

It's also possible that they're moving away from those generic variables so the fact that they're here is a coincidence.

If anyone wants to look into this by replacing the variables with values that work in this theme, feel free, but ensure it works correctly across the themes and that the variables make sense (i.e. don't pick semantic variables that are unrelated, like --color-calendar-graph-day-L2-bg, just because they're green)

Don't open a PR that requires 4 reviews; it's only 4 variables that need to be changed.

[omBratteng]

I only had the feature preview enabled, I didn't use the Dark High Contrast theme.
It's most likely an issue from GitHub's end, that they create the variable twice, one with actual correct colour, and one with just red.

I will give feedback on the feature preview, because those css variables looks wrong to me.

I've made a PR to fix it, this is what the release will probably look like:

That design was suboptimal so I'll try changing the border instead of the text
