Highlighting of errors should be a bit gentle

[bergentroll]

SpellBad, SpellCap and signcolumn related highlights seems too particolored:

Also underlines over background colors seems more modern and elegant for me. So I have the next overrides for now:

"I have also a couple of some special chars overrides here.
let g:jellybeans_overrides = {
      \  'SpecialKey': { '256ctermbg': 'none', '256ctermfg': 'Darkgray' },
      \  'Whitespace': { '256ctermbg': 'none', '256ctermfg': 'Darkgray' },
      \  'SpellBad'  : { '256cterm': 'underline', '256ctermbg': 'None' },
      \  'SpellCap'  : { '256cterm': 'undercurl', '256ctermbg': 'None' },
      \  'error'     : { '256ctermbg': 236 },
      \  'todo'      : { '256ctermbg': 236 },
      \}

Result:

FWIW... Although I really like the idea of muting down the error highlights, I think the example above is a little too muted. How about something like:

• Making the foreground color of the >> in the well some shade of red. It's an error, it just seems like it should be red.
• Instead of an underline to highlight the error, set the background color to a lighter shade of red? Lighter than it was before.

does any one know how can I change the back ground of those errors?! ( those ones sitting left to the line numbers )
is it possible ? what should I over ride ?
I want it to be the same as line numbers back ground.

@Bigamir, it is perfectly possible with :hi SignColumn ctermbg=none (and also ALESignColumntWithErrors, ALESignColumntWithoutErrors for ALE case).

that did the trick
just in case if anyone wants to do that, paste it after colorschem jellybeans in your configfiles.
