Description

It seems strange that there is no way to change this one specific color. You basically can either use FFFFFF, 232323, or 000000 by way of changing the base theme from 'vs', 'vs-dark', and 'hc-black' respectively. Is there some technical blocker to exposing this color?

We are doing a fair bit of work in the theming department and it would be nice to be able to set this.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the Monaco Editor's theming architecture to find where the editorOverview background color is hardcoded, then add a new color token and expose it in the theming API.
