How can I add padding to VS Code's code editor panel

By default the gutter and the code editor have white backgrounds and you can't tell that there is no space between the two. In my color scheme the gutter is gray (trying to match IntelliJ-based IDE) and as you can see the first column of the code is basically touching the guter.
What I am trying to do is to add some kind of space in between or some left-padding to the code editor.
Any advise or guidance would be greatly appreciated!
This is what it looks like:

How do I change the color of the content inside window showed in the image? I'm using STS

I was using STS and decided to give it a try to the dark theme, but the color of the tooltip window, was black and the font also black hence impossible to read, so I restored the appearance to the default settings hoping that the tooltip window color would change as well but it didn't. I haven't found a way to customize the colors of it. Does anyone knows how to do that? Thanks in advance.

How to make Eclipse's tab's background color changed when use dark theme?

I am trying to make my Eclipse cooler like IntelliJ's darcular theme. Everything is fine now except the tab's background's color. It's white and I can't see the words clearly.
Just like the picture below.
Oh, I don't know why it can be seen in the screenshot.
But what I want like this:
By TWiStErRob's comment I found where to change it for me, which also had bright tabs when switching to dark theme.
Below the steps how I changed my tabs:
Go in the top menu to window, then preferences.
Then drill down to General > Appearance > colors and fonts
There is a list with multiple background begin, background end options. If you select an option you can use the edit button to change the color.
Default you only get the basic colors. By clicking the *Define Custom Colors >>** button you can use a color picker or the hex/hsl editor fields to enter your own preferred colors. I changed them all (all the background begin/background end options) from their bright colors to darker colors.
The end result.
Thanks to TWiStErRob for giving the pointer where to find the setting.

Powershell CTRL+F Highlighting Color

I like to use a darker background but I cant find the setting to changer the highlighting. Every time I use it its like I'm finding waldo and it defeats the purpose.
Example: http://i.stack.imgur.com/pA0c9.png
I assume you are using the ISE? The command window just inverts the colours so anything other than medium grey is easy to find.
Anyway this is a really unfortunate feature of Windows, the highlight text isn't controlled by the ISE but by Personalisation settings. Go into Control Panel, Personalisation, Window Colour, then "Advanced Appearance Settings..." and you'll get the old options to change window colours.
The "Selected Items" setting will change the colour of highlighted text EVERYWHERE IN WINDOWS. So if you decide to go down this route you're going to need to pick a colour you can easily find on both your ISE and the standard black-on-white theme. I recommend a slightly lighter blue.

How to change the color of the currently selected line in a code assist popup in Eclipse?

I've recently downloaded Eclipse 3.6, everything works fine, but there is one issue that really frustrates me. The highlight color of a currently selected item in a code assist popup is barely visible against white background. I've tried to mess with color settings, but it seems that there is no option for my needs. The line highlight color set in Windows color scheme is only used to highlight in a focused popup.
I believe it is hidden in another part of Preferences. I personally wanted to change the highlighted or currently selected line color, and could not find anything in Colors and Fonts. Ends up it was in...
General -> Editors -> Text Editors
And you just need to go through every option in the "Appearance color options" box there. One is "Current line highlight" and that fixed my problem. I hope it helps yours!
I know you're trying to change the highlight color, but if the problem is contrast you can change the content assist background color, and get this kind of contrast
The setting is General->Appearance->Color Basic->Content Assist Background
Then it's just a matter of finding colors that please you.
Try Preferences->General->Appearance->Color and Fonts then find the appropriate category.
Some editors will have support for "Colored labels - match highlight"
I was having the same issue and I've found a solution for windows XP. If you go to Control Panel -> Display -> Appearance -> Advanced and select 3D Objects under Item you can change the color of this highlight to a darker color.
However it does change the appearance of other parts of your windows.
