Selected links unreadable with same-color selection

[silverwind]

We might have to come up with a different color based on what's selected, like a::-moz-selection. A shame you can't combine these selectors with anything.

It's a shame we can't use LESS or SCSS to shift the color slightly ;)

Should we just have two color settings? Main and alternate?

I think some trickery with a second background layer or a absolute positioned pseudo element could work to darken the selection while still keeping the base-color.

What about a text-shadow?

I oppose text-shadow wherever possible :)

I've been poking around with secondary background layers and pseudo elements (both of which won't work on ::-moz-selection) but then noticed that probly the best fix is actually pretty simple:

  /* text selection */
  ::selection {
    background: /*[[base-color]]*/ #4183C4 !important;
    color: #fff !important;
  }
  ::-moz-selection {
    background: /*[[base-color]]*/ #4183C4 !important;
    color: #fff !important;
  }
