When the activity bar is positioned at the bottom of the sidebar, the active indicator (underline) now renders above the icons instead of below them. This provides better visual feedback for the active item. Changes: - paneCompositePart.css: Separate styling for header (top) and footer (bottom) positions, with indicator at bottom for header and top for footer - sidebarpart.css: Updated border color rules for footer position - auxiliaryBarPart.css: Updated border color rules for footer position Co-authored-by: benibenj <44439583+benibenj@users.noreply.github.com>
