I had some fun with the CSS to get the Markdown styling even nicer to read.  
I was tired of the multi-colors and in general was just looking to simplify the look. Really happy with how easy it was with the extra CSS classes!

Here's the code:

```auto

span.cm-rm-checkbox.cm-property + span.cm-rm-checkbox + span.cm-rm-checkbox {
	/*adds a strike through on completed checkmarks*/
	text-decoration: line-through;
	opacity: 0.7;
}

  .CodeMirror-sizer {
  	/*keeps the text width manageable*/
  margin-right: auto !important;
  margin-left: auto !important;
  max-width: 80ch !important;
  line-height: 2.3ch !important;
}

.cm-hr {
	/*makes `---` solid*/
  border-top: 1px solid #cccccc;
  display: block;
  line-height: 0px;
}

.cm-s-default *{
	/*makes all text black*/
	color: black !important;
}
.cm-header.cm-rm-header-token{
	/*makes the markdown #, ##, ###, etc less noticable*/
	color: #cccccc !important;
    font-size: 90%; 
    margin-left: -50px;
    max-width: 50px;
    width: 50px;
    overflow: hidden;
    display: inline-block;
    text-align: right;
}

```

Not all of this is my invention, found lots of inspiration from previous posts, thanks!

(NOTE: requires turning on "Add additional CSS classes for enhanced customization" in the Settings).
