Feature request: setting to disable gutter diff decorations distinguishing between staged and working dir changes

[studyingegret]

Type: Feature request

After updating, VS Code now shows staged changes with lighter colors and working dir changes with stronger colors.

(Theme: GitHub Dark Default)

However, I find this visually disturbing, because I usually only want to know "that there is a modification/addition/deletion here" and don't really care if a change is "staged or only in working dir". In other words, I usually only care about changes since last commit. (My habit to know if a change is "staged or only in working dir" is to look in the source control panel, accessed through the icon on the sidebar)

I found that it was #60389 that added gutter highlight for staged changes (before that, only working dir changes were highlighted). I would like a setting to let VS Code highlight staged & working dir changes the same way, i.e. to let gutter on line 1 & 7, line 3 & 5 look the same. (That should include drawing the stripes of modified changes in the same direction: currently, staged modifications' stripes are topleft→bottomright(↘), while only in working dir modifications' are topright→bottomleft(↙).)

Clarifications:

• I like the fact that VS Code shows changes that are both staged and in working dir
• I know some people like staged & working dir changes to be shown differently
• But I prefer them to be shown the same way and hope to have a setting that does this
