I find the highlighting of the current line or paragraph highly enervating. With any color, even white (which produces a light grey highlighting). Please make it possible to switch that off. 

I have no coder biography but am only a writer. I understand that the highlight is useful when you are writing code. But for writing and editing text, whereby switching between paragraphs happens often, this blink-blink is stressful.

Thanks for the feedback!

I’ll see about adding an option to disable the active line highlighting in a future version

You can disable highlighting of the active line in the editor as of v0.38.

The setting is in Preferences -> Appearance -> Highlight active line
