Increase inline code background contrast

[hukkin]

I find that it's a sometimes a bit hard to spot inline code in paragraphs. This bothers me a bit in both light and dark mode. I'd suggest slightly adjusting inline code background color to fix this. Perhaps try the same background color as non-inline code blocks?

Thanks for considering!

Hi!

This is configurable on a per-project basis -- --color-inline-code-background is the CSS variable controlling this.

I remember spending a lot of time tweaking this originally, and this current low-contrast choice was the only one that made sense for the constraints I had placed:

• border under links, which is common for intersphinx-generated class links.
• distinction from normal text when inline without a link.
• not providing a large palette of colours out-of-the-box.
• light and dark mode toggles shouldn't significantly change contrast ratios.
