Support for gradient

[d4nielix]

Hi, like someone requested two years ago:
#338
, I would like to ask for a gradient support. Maybe it is possible in current VSC version.

EDIT: also maybe there is a possibility to add alpha parameter - number between 0.0 (fully transparent) and 1.0 (fully opaque), because I feel that some colors are too distracting.

Thank you @d4nielix for creating this issue!

vscode does support an alpha channel which is good for personal customisations but I'm not sure how that could fit sensibly into whatever algorithm peacock uses

Currently there is no support for a gradient , for example, in the activityBar given the VS Code API.
