Stefan DotterweichNot using colored background for added and removed lines is a missed opportunity to make diff lines easier to grasp visually.
Use a subtle red/green background by default. Make the font slightly darker to improve contrast.
Signed-off-by: Stefan Dotterweich <stefandotterweich@gmx.de> --- The variable diffcolors seems like a fitting place for the two new colors. However, adding them to that list causes problems if diffcolors saved in .gitk then contains three instead of five colors. This could be solved by modifying the variable after loading .gitk. I'm not sure if that would be the preferred approach or where to implement a special case like that. To avoid the problem, I introduced a new variable diffbgcolors.
