Issue

Basically changing the background opacity also changes the opacity of the text, making it hard to read.

How to replicate

This is a fresh install, not sure about steps to reproduce.

[Katsute]

This is intended behavior, this extension works by applying a background behind the editor, then lowers the content opacity so we can actually see the background.

Set a higher opacity to increase the visibility of the content.

[linmar22]

Any way to make the image less visible (transitioning to the vanilla VSC dark grey), while keeping the content at 100%?

[Katsute]

The renderContentAboveBackground option might have what you are looking for.
