'faded' Folder color when listed in .gitignore

I am just wondering, are we able to leverage the fact that a folder/file is listed in .gitignore and have a faded or more opaque color, similar to how VSC grays the name out?

This is currently not possible because of the VS Code Extension API.

But I found a possible solution to implement for the VS Code Team. The opacity of the ::before element of the explorer entry should be decreased like this:

Affected HTML element:

CSS:

.show-file-icons .node_modules-name-folder-icon.folder-icon::before {
    content: ' ';
    background-image: url(.../folder-node.svg);
    opacity: .7;
}

Result:

I could imagine this as an optional setting for the editor. But it affects the design and beauty of the icons themselves. This should at least be optional.

Maybe we can open a new issue at the VS Code repository and propose this request.

Bit of a necro but its possible to gray out all icons with filter: saturate(0); as well as opacity <0.6 😃
