Theme Color : Git : Staged

[RichardFevrier]

For better visibility it would be nice to add different color settings for "staged" files.
Like:

• "gitDecoration.stagedModifiedResourceForeground"
• "gitDecoration.stagedAddedResourceForeground"

Can you show me a screenshot of the UI piece you would like to be able to theme?

[RichardFevrier]

Thank you for your answer. Here are two screenshots.

Initial context: Git is configured in my current project. I have made modifications on some files. I have added some files in the index (git add filename) so those files are in a staged state, prepared for the next commit. Some others are just modified.

• The first one is the "Source Control: Git" view. You can see the color on the right (on the "M") that is actually controlled by only one setting: "gitDecoration.modifiedResourceForeground" and it is yellow in this example. So we can't differentiate staged and non staged files.
• The second is the "Explorer" view. You can see the same color controlled by the same setting as the name of the file (blurred but still yellow).

So to be able to differentiate "added", "modified", "added staged" and "modified staged" we need to add two settings:

• "gitDecoration.stagedModifiedResourceForeground"
• "gitDecoration.stagedAddedResourceForeground"

Verification

As a theme author, you should be able to color staged modifications and deletions independently from unstaged ones.

I have verified there is the following color
gitDecoration.stagedModifiedResourceForeground
However the other one seems to be gitDecoration.addedResourceForeground"

Both of these colors work fine when I change them via workbench.colorCusomtisations -> verified
