## Message

```
theme: Add `panel.overlay_background` and `panel.overlay_hover` (#34655)

In https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/33994 sticky scroll was
added to project_panel.

I love this feature! 

This introduces a new element layering not seen before. On themes that
use transparency, the overlapping elements can make it difficult to read
project panel entries. This PR introduces a new selector:
~~panel.sticky_entry.background~~ `panel.overlay_background` This
selector lets you set the background of entries when they become sticky.

Closes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/34654

Release Notes:

- Add `panel.sticky_entry.background` theme selector for modifying
project panel entries when they become sticky when scrolling and overlap
with entries below them.
