Default and 15% increased
Default and 12% increased
To adhere to the Nord design guidelines this option uses nord3 by default.
This is a reference table if users like to use the same increased contrast values as provided by the [Nord Atom Syntax accessibility custom comment contrast theme setting][nord-atom-syntax-pr-47] which are calculated using the LESSCSS [lighten][lesscss-doc-fn-lighten] function.

UI
❯ Added support for the PlugClean command of the [junegunn/vim-plug][plugin-junegunn/vim-plug] plugin which used the Ignore group by default for deleted directory listings resulting in unreadable text when cursorline has been set. (#43 in PR #59, @dylnmc, e532b5d)

Before
After
❯ Added missing Markdown italic and bold groups. (#84 in PR #91, @lokesh-krishna @dylnmc, 63b4612)
❯ Improved the highlighting for matching parens. (#75 and #71 in PR #78, @vincentzhezhang @cryptomaniac512 @dylnmc, 8eb7b2a)
The background color intensity under the cursor was too bright and the cursor no more visible causing the user to be distracted to focus on the matching bracket instead of the bracket at the cursor position.
To optimally improve the highlighting nord3 will now be used as background color for the matching element which doesn't conflict with the cursorline color and also stands out in order to see the matching element.
