+## Disable dimming of hidden files
+
+By default, hidden files (toggled with `g.`) are dimmed via the `OilHidden` highlight group, which links to `Comment`. Every typed hidden group (`OilDirHidden`, `OilFileHidden`, etc.) links to `OilHidden`, so all hidden entries resolve to the same dim color regardless of their type.
+
+To make hidden files look identical to their visible counterparts, relink each hidden group to its non-hidden variant after calling `setup()`:
+
+```lua
+for _, hl in ipairs(require("oil")._get_highlights()) do
+  local base = hl.name:match("^(Oil.+)Hidden$")
+  if base then
+    vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, hl.name, { link = base })
+  end
+end
+```
