Allow a rectangular shadow to indicate where the minimap is, without having to move the mouse. Like Atom.

And when it slides horizontally, another shadow will be shown to indicate that I'm going to the side. Like Atom.

Update: Correcting the wrong translation from Google Translate. 😊😊😊

Hi, you might customize this via the custom css and js extension together with a change to
.monaco-editor .minimap-slider { opacity: 1; /* changed from 0 */ transition: opacity .1s linear }and .monaco-editor.vs .minimap-slider.active { background: hsla(0, 0%, 39%, .7) }

That should work as a work around when using the dark theme. :)

The first part of this request is also similar to the "always_show_minimap_viewport" setting in Sublime, for people familiar with that.
