adapt doc style. prefer no color change on mouseover on table

[mattijn]

What is your suggestion?

See animated gif:

I prefer there is no color change of table background when a reader hovers with his mouse over the table.

Have you considered any alternative solutions?

No response

I would be in favor of that too if it is an easy fix

@mattijn I found the theme variable that controls this.

This diff just shows what the current color is

@mattijn I wanted to follow up on this issue as it seems quite a simple one to solve (just picking a color to use for #3658 (comment))

My suggestion would be - instead of removing the color change entirely - to use a lighter/more subtle shade of the current color.

I find the current one quite jarring, but I think that's due to a sudden contrast change of large element.
Having some level of highlighting seems helpful to me, since there is a lot of variation in row length.

If we went with no color, I think there'd need to be some other indicator of what row is in focus

[mattijn]

Awesome! A lighter shade seems a perfect choice

Great @mattijn!

Just playing around with the opacity (#b780ff??) of --pst-color-table-row-hover-bg on transform/window.

Seems we can go pretty low before it stops being useful
