Visual Studio Code - Colorcode Workspaces
If you find it as hard as me to navigate through multiple open VSCode instances, then this one's for you.
Visual Studio Code has built-in functionality to color-code the title bar of each workspace. This can be split into active and inactive states. Setting these to some sensible and easy to identify colors may help you (and me) to find the right VSCode instance faster and don't get lost if you're working on a multi-branch project.
Workbench Settings - Title Bar color
Open the workbench settings. Preferably in the JSON format. (Ctrl + Shift + P)
Add some good looking and unique colors. VSCode can help you with the built-in color picker.
{
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
"titleBar.activeBackground": "#395645",
"titleBar.inactiveBackground": "#213329"
}
}
I tend to use a slightly darker color in the inactive settings to make my desktop not too "flashy".
Here are some color examples for dark themed VSCode workspaces:
- #394156 = █
- #395645 = █
- #563939 = █
- #503956 = █
