The trouble is with the propagation of poor template systems auto generating relevant comments and new/junior developers writing comments that are just what the code does as opposed to functionally important. Since this represents the bulk of comments most themes have started to contrast them out so that the actual code is more prominent But to fix this the author should just find a better contrast for comments in their chosen theme so they are just as readable as code. The idea you would make comments more prominent and the code harder to read leads me to believe they don't write much code.
