I've tried out both the V1 themes and on both of them, it can be really difficult to tell if I actually have one of the BBcode buttons selected or not.
For example, on Dark, when I click "B" for Bold, it only goes slightly brighter. On Light, I actually noticed no difference.

Solution: Use a highlight color completely different from the rest of the buttons, such as blue, so the user IMMEDIATELY knows whether the button is selected or not.
Please see the first attached image for how it currently is, and the second image for how I think it should look.

This is something that I should have done a long time ago so sorry about that guys. Thanks for raising the issue @apathy. The V1 dark theme has now been amended so that the selected BBCode button is blue :). Will be doing the same for the V1 light theme shortly.
