Release Notes: - Added support for `background_color` in `syntax` map in `theme.json`. This adds support for setting a `background_color` for styles inside the `syntax` map for themes defined in `theme.json`. The field is optional so there should be no backwards compatibility issues. It is worth noting that the current behaviour for selecting text is that the background colours will mix/blend (I'm not sure the correct term here). Changing this behaviour, or making it configurable, looks to be a far more complex issue and I'm not sure I know how to do it.
