@benjaminjackman fyi - if you want unused code to be more visible you can configure it to be an error/warning. That will combine both styles - the squiggle and the fading out. |

This commit allows users to set a color for unused code which had been an unconfigurable behavior (defaulting to a shade of gray) until microsoft#51104 / microsoft#52218 when it was replaced with setting that allows for either decreasing the unused token's opacity while preserving its color and/or setting the color of a 2px dashed border that "underlines" the unused token. The previous behavior avoided some contrast issues introduced by microsoft#51104 / microsoft#52218 when reducing the opacity of some syntax colors that were already at or just over the low-contrast frontier into squintland, the unlegible country, a place no programmer should be forced gaze. Conversely, tokens that don't contrast enough with themselves won't scan well when the programmer is looking for unused tokens.

Graying out was added as a temporary solution when this feature was first added. Once we moved to having an official API for unused variables, we went with fading the code out as overriding the color generally makes tokenization look busted. High contrast themes add an underline instead of fading the code |

I personally still prefer the grayed out foreground color over all of the options presented here (there's a good chance most developers coming from WebStorm will agree). I'm not sure I understand the logic behind disabling this feature because of the way it makes syntax highlighting look. If a theme explicitly sets the unused code to be grayed out, users have the option to continue using that theme or install a different one. Additionally, there are a lot of theme settings that can be changed to make things "look busted". |
