Higher contrast in Sidebar & Command Pallet about vscode-palenight-theme HOT 4 CLOSED

Also hard to find where the edge of the sidebar or the terminal panel at the bottom is, so that you can resize them

from vscode-palenight-theme.

I have pretty good eyesight (not to toot my own horn) and I really like this theme but I often choose the wrong file or command in the command palette. I couldn't imagine how it would be for someone without such amazing sightedness.

I also feel like this wasn't always an issue.

Is there a way to change just this color in the settings?

I found a workaround:

1. Go to settiings and look for workbench.color where you'll see Workbench: Color Customizations
2. Click Edit in settiings.json
3. Add the following to your settings.json (I picked a highlight color from the them in the editor and it is contrasty enough for me now)

  "workbench.colorCustomizations": {
    "[Palenight Theme]": {
      "list.focusBackground": "#212432"
    }
  },

Save it and the theme is now perfect! Thanks for the wonderful theme @whizkydee!

Update: v2 which was shipped today now comes with a mild contrast variant. It's still experimental and very early stages, so let me know what your thoughts are, and if you have suggestions on how it can be improved (enhancements will be rolled out in patches).

You can find it as Palenight (Mild Contrast), and it looks somewhat like this:
