In-line code blocks are not very obvious

[dataCobra]

Hello @omajid ,

thank you for this information. The inline code should stand out more from the normal text.

I think this is a very important feature and I will prioritize this now over the others. 👍

[dataCobra]

@omajid I've added some styling for inline code now. Please let me know what you think of it.

I will wait for your reply before I create a new release with this feature included.

Thanks for the quick fix. I have one piece of feedback: due to the colour choices, it's almost impossible to distinguish a code that is a link from a code that's not. Here's an example:

Here musl is supposed to be a link, but glibc isn't. Even github highlights them differently, but vitae doesn't 😢

[dataCobra]

@omajid oh yeah not a great idea to make the color the same as the links. I'll fix that. 👍

[dataCobra]

@omajid I've fixed the text color now and made the background a bit darker. Please again let me know what you think.

[omajid]

Thanks, that mostly solves all my concerns. I don't quite have an artist's eye, so I can't really say if making it darker is a good idea or not.

What is your personal opinion about the darker background?

Unfortunately I am not in a position to judge this for myself because I have not used it so often.
That is why your opinion about the background is so important to me. 👍

What is your personal opinion about the darker background?

I don't have a designer's sense of colours. I tried tweaking some colour values, and it seems like something just a little big lighter (#F1F1F1, compared to the current #E1E1E1) might be better?

In my own quick tests, it looks like the lighter the background colour, the easier it is to tell whether the inline-code is a link or not. With #F9F9F9, for example, it's easier to tell link vs non-link in-line code snippets apart.

You can try this out on your end with this sample markdown that I used:

There are other C libraries on Linux too, such as
[`musl`](https://musl.libc.org/), but `glibc` is the most common one.

#F9F9F9:

#F1F1F1:

#E1E1E1:

(Or am I just seeing bad colours on my end?)

[dataCobra]

I will go with the color #F1F1F1, because with this background color it is neither too dark nor too light.

After I've changed that I will create a new release. 👍

Thank you for your help @omajid.

[dataCobra]

Thank you very much for your help on this issue @omajid. 👍

I've made the changes as written in my last post and will now close this issue.

Thanks for fixing this so quickly!
