VS code minimap "location highlighting"

Of interest to some may be that v1.43 added three new colorCustomizations that affect the minimap slider color, including opacity (last two digits in the settings:

"workbench.colorCustomizations": {

  "minimapSlider.background": "#ff000060",
  "minimapSlider.hoverBackground": "#ff0000",
  "minimapSlider.activeBackground": "#2f00ff50"
}

See https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull/90631 and https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docs/blob/vnext/release-notes/v1_43.md#minimap-background-and-slider-colors


From the stable version 1.14 (June 2017) there is an option in settings.json:

"editor.minimap.showSlider": "always"

It appears this is already being tracked in a feature request:
