I would love a feature where line colors could be set separately from style bits. Perhaps it could function somewhat similarly to the new indicators.
The motivation for such a feature is that a Scite extension doesn't like to change a style since that is the job of syntax highlighter. You would have to read, duplicate, modify and apply a style for each given line if you were modifying the line after the syntax highlighter had done its job. It would be much easier to just specify an after the fact background color or even ideally a mask to selectively darken or change the tint of background (and perhaps include the foreground).
