Hello Christian!

These kind of clashes are unfortunate.  We can tweak the colour of the
accented region in the modus-themes, though that might have other
knock-on effects.  Maybe there is another macOS colour you could use?

To disable lin in dired, remove it from the lin-mode-hooks:

    (setq lin-mode-hooks
          '(bongo-mode-hook
            ;; dired-mode-hook
            elfeed-search-mode-hook
            git-rebase-mode-hook
            ibuffer-mode-hook
            ilist-mode-hook
            ledger-report-mode-hook
            log-view-mode-hook
            magit-log-mode-hook
            mu4e-headers-mode
            notmuch-search-mode-hook
            notmuch-tree-mode-hook
            occur-mode-hook
            org-agenda-mode-hook
            tabulated-list-mode-hook))

Then you will need to:

    (add-hook 'dired-mode-hook #'hl-line-mode)

Toggle lin-global-mode for changes to take effect.
