  // Box 
  .highlights .highlight-selected .region {
    border-color: #ddd;
  }
  // Background 
  .highlights .highlight-selected.background .region {
    background-color: rgba(155, 149, 0, 0.6);
  }
  // Light theme box (set in settings) 
  .highlights .highlight-selected.light-theme .region {
