The issue originally has been filed here: microsoft/vscode#177264

There is a new variable called --vscode-peekViewEditorStickScroll-background which can be used to define a color for the sticky scroll background inside of the peek view

The following screenshots should explain the problem.

^ P. Machine

^ P. Mist

Expected behavior

"Bright black" should be brighter than the terminal background. The screenshot above is captured with P. Citadel theme.

VSCode April 2022 introduced the "compact" style of inlay hints as default (microsoft/vscode#145470), which removes paddings and rounded corners and set the font size the same as editor. In this style, inlay hints should look like comments to look good and "blend in".

Inlay hints in most of the Paddy themes have an inverted color scheme and/or low contrast, which doesn't look good.

Some themes in Paddy do have a better inlay hint color scheme, e.g. P. Machine:

{
  "id": "paddy-light",
  "label": "Paddy Light",
  "uiTheme": "vs",
  "path": "./themes/upright/Paddy-light-color-theme.json"
},

It should be ./themes/Paddy-light-color-theme.json

Hi @yl92 !
Firstly, let me thank for your great work!

Could you, please, explain, what means upright ?

I'm curious about what is it, but unfortunately, I didn't find it anywhere in the description or elsewhere... :(
Kindly thank you beforehand for explanation.

Regards

Queue type has incorrect syntax highlighting (should have the same color as ArrayList and String in attached screenshot)

They are a bit too "blue" for some themes:

Perhaps review all terminal colors too

editorBracketHighlight.foreground1 etc.

Hint level squiggles:

Info level squiggles

I checked this with multiple plugins and environments (and disabled all other plugins), so this issue is probably not created by some other random plugin.
