vscode jest runner, illegible output colours in terminal - visual-studio-code

as you can see in the image below, showing yellow text on a white background, in an otherwise dark themed terminal. the jest runner output is completely illegible, none of my setting as far as I have looked should affect this.
I have searched for solutions but not found anything.
any help greatly appreciated.

so i can use the terminal contrast ratio settings (as above) to get a more legible output.. not really the solution I'd like, but a workaround for now...

Problem with ZSH arrows' colors in Visual Studio Code

I've tried installing oh-my-zsh on my Windows 10 machine recently and everything is looking alright inside Windows Terminal,
ut when I try using it inside VSCode's integrated terminal, the colors are way off and the arrows' colors are different from the rest.

I've tried multiple Powerline fonts, modifying VSCode color theme and changing the terminal foreground color, but the result is always the same.
Thanks in advance for your help
I was perplexed by this as well, turns out it's something that recently broke in VS Code as a result of a new accessibility feature introduced in version 1.66. The solution is to add the following to your VS Code settings.json file:
"terminal.integrated.minimumContrastRatio": 1,
Enforcing a minimum contrast ratio for terminal colors is a great idea that will help users with impaired vision, but an unintended consequence was that it would interfere with the way powerline-style tools render separator characters. Thankfully Microsoft offered us a way to disable it.

vscode on mac is incorrectly highlighting text around text blocks

It is very annoying to see that background around code is lighter then the rest of the program. When the cursor moves the highlighting moves up and down to full window width. Can you please propose solution how to turn this highlighting off. Same problem is in output of task log, and in file explorer.
I have deleted all the settings and Application data and I have same problem. I have installed vscode on windows and I do not have this problem with same settings.
Unfortunately this is an issue in Chromium. You can work around this by starting VS Code with --disable-gpu from the command line.

It appears this can be fixed for some users by selecting a different color profile in macOS display settings. Note that you have to change this separately for all monitors that you use.
For me, "Apple RGB" will show these blocks, and switching to "LED Cinema Display" or "iMac" solves the issue.

eclipse editor colors - how to set in outline view

The line that is highlighted on Eclipse is really hard for me to see. I am color blind, but I can see colors. I assume the the highlight color in the outline screen has very little contrast to the other colors. Thank you!
Anyway I will try and attach a graphic.... anyone know to change this?
I think I have something usable enough to post as an answer. You didn't specify the OS that you're using but from the screenshot it looked like Windows 7/Vista with the Aero theme. Like I mentioned in my comment to your question, from this and this, it looks like there isn't any [straightforward] way to change the highlight color.
However, if you don't mind losing the Aero effects, you can switch to the Windows Classic theme to get a different highlighting that IMO provides more contrast and better readability.
