Visual Studio Code status bar color

Question

Visual Studio Code\'s default status bar color is blue and I find it quite distracting. I used this extension to change the color but it has stopped working after the 1.10

Answer 1

1) Gonna save 30 minutes of time to noobs like me - it has to be edited in the settings.json file. Easiest way to acces is to File -> Preferences -> Settings, search for "Color", choose an option "Workbench: Color Customizations" -> "Edit in settings.json".

2) This uses the solution proposed by "Gama11", but !note!: the final form of the code in the settings.json should be like this - note double curly braces around "workbench.colorCustomizations":

{
  // fontSize just for testing purposes, commented out.
  //"editor.fontSize" : 12

  // StatusBar color:
     "workbench.colorCustomizations": {
     "statusBar.background" : "#303030",
     "statusBar.noFolderBackground" : "#222225",
     "statusBar.debuggingBackground": "#511f1f"
    }
}

After you copy/pasted code above, press Ctrl+S to save the changes to 'settings.json'.
