Description
Hi, Team,
Currently bookmark (blue dot on the left-hand side) only support one color (blue ball).
This works great except when dark mode/theme: it becomes a little hard to see them 😅.
It would be great if bookmark ball color can be changed, or at least directly improving it to a brighter color for dark theme.
Best Regards.

Research direction
Start by locating the bookmark marker rendering and the code that applies dark or theme colors in the Notepad++ desktop UI. Check how bookmark visibility is represented in both light and dark themes. Done means the bookmark marker is clearly visible in dark mode and the requested color behavior is covered by the relevant validation or visual checks.
