Whitespace characters are rendered subtly, understandably, using gray. Space characters are shown as small gray disks. With my glasses, my monitor at its default resolution and the default zoom level, I find it hard to notice them with the dark theme, in particular when they are trailing. If I know where they are, they are not hard to see, but if I don't, they are far from obvious:
I would argue this is somewhat of a bug since I perceive the contrast as greater in the normal mode than in dark mode:
In my opinion, the perceived contrast is considerably lower in dark mode.
- Open a file with spaces
- Enable the Render Whitespace setting (editor.action.toggleRenderWhitespace)
- Switch to the dark theme (workbench.action.toggleLightDarkThemes)
- Evaluate how much time you need to identify all lines with trailing whitespace (and compare with the time needed in normal mode)
