[bug] Light theme: selected workspace has insufficient contrast in sidebar #3182
Description
In the light theme, the selected workspace item in the left sidebar has very little visual distinction from unselected items. The background color difference is too subtle, making it hard to tell which workspace is currently active at a glance.
Steps to reproduce:
- Create multiple workspaces
- Select one workspace
- Observe the sidebar in light theme
Expected:
The selected workspace should be clearly distinguishable from unselected ones (e.g., stronger background color, accent border, or bolder text).
Actual:
The background color difference between selected and unselected workspaces is barely noticeable.

@Kitenite The auto-generated PR #3183 was closed during the 2026-05-06 bulk audit as a stale bot PR, but the underlying issue here is still open.
Before re-attempting, I'd like to ask:
The cubic PR's diff was small (a few
oklchlightness values) and Greptile flagged only a minor CSS fallback inconsistency on--accent. Happy to put together a proper PR if there's a realistic path to merge.Kitenite commentedon Jul 11, 2026
