Fade fold buttons

#1

if "fade_fold_buttons": true, there hides ALL fold buttons unless the mouse is over the gutter
if "fade_fold_buttons": false, there hides NONE fold buttons unless the mouse is over the gutter
Is there way to show ONLY FOLDED fold buttons unless the mouse is over the gutter?

I don’t think this is currently possible. The gutter would need to receive its own theme class, then you could set the setting to false and add a custom rule to your theme, like this:

        {
            "class": "fold_button_control",
            "parents": [{"class": "hypothetical_gutter_class", "attributes": ["!hover"]}],
            "attributes": ["expanded"],
            "layer0.opacity": {"target": 0.0, "speed": 6, "interpolation": "smoothstep"}
        },

But this "hypothetical_gutter_class" doesn’t exist, therefore it can’t work. Alternatively, the Sublime Text devs could add another option for this setting, like for example "fade_fold_buttons": "unfolded" and implement it directly in ST core. Perhaps this would be worth a feature request in the issue tracker.
