Wrap guide in a different color in light mode

[vogu66]

Hello,

Thanks for the software, I'm trying it out a bit. It seems the wrap guide in light mode is the same color regardless of the theme? That, combined to it being very small, makes it basically invisible in the different light modes I tried. Do you think it'd be possible to have it thicker or a different color in option? Or change its color based on the theme?

I agree that the default wrap guide is very hard to see in the included light mode themes. I think the problem is not that it's thin, but that the opacity (alpha component of the RGBA code) is set to just 5%.

You can add this to your settings.json to bump the opacity to 25%:

{
  "experimental.theme_overrides": {
    "editor.wrap_guide": "#c8ccd440"
  }
}

That does make it much better, thanks. "#c8ccd440" doesn't visibly change the guide, but I put "#c8ccd4" and it looks much better. I had tried modifying "editor.active_wrap_guide" to no effect before.
