I was trying to customize the activity bar and I noticed the foreground color applies when hovering too. I'm having a problem with this because the foreground when hovering is the same as my background.

Settings:

    "activityBar.background": "#ffffff",
    "activityBar.dropBorder": "#00a0df",
    "activityBar.foreground": "#ffffff",
    "activityBar.inactiveForeground": "#00a0df",
    "activityBar.border": "#007aaa",
    "activityBarBadge.background": "#0b5cab",
    "activityBarBadge.foreground": "#ffffff",
    "activityBar.activeBorder": "#00a0df",
    "activityBar.activeBackground": "#00a0df",
    "activityBar.activeFocusBorder": "#00a0df",
    "activityBarTop.foreground": "#ffffff",
    "activityBarTop.activeBorder": "#00a0df",
    "activityBarTop.inactiveForeground": "#00a0df",
    "activityBarTop.dropBorder": "#007aaa",
    "activityBarTop.background": "#ffffff",
    "activityBarTop.activeBackground": "#00a0df",

Regular colors:

Colors when hovering:

The same happens with the activityBarTop.

I'd love to have new settings for:

  • activityBar.hoverForeground to set it to #00a0df
  • activityBar.hoverBackground to set it to a lighter blue like #a4dcf3

and the same for the activityBarTop:

  • activityBarTop.hoverForeground
  • activityBarTop.hoverBackground

Thank you!! Please let me know if you need anything else from me.
