codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Full-line red/green backgrounds for diff reviewer (or make configurable) in Codex VS Code extension [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

The most likely fix is to make the diff highlighting behavior configurable, allowing users to choose between full-line backgrounds and the current subtle accent-on-numbers style.

Guidance

• Consider adding a configuration option to the Codex VS Code extension to allow users to select their preferred diff highlighting style.
• Review the current implementation of the diff reviewer to determine the feasibility of restoring the previous behavior of highlighting the entire line for insertions and deletions.
• Evaluate the potential performance and accessibility implications of changing the diff highlighting behavior.
• Gather feedback from users to determine the most popular diff highlighting style and prioritize development efforts accordingly.
