How do I set the sidebar color in vscode

Question

Seems there are two colors to the sidebar in vscode light and dark. I am wanting to use the solarized light theme but have a dark sidebar. Is there a way to do this?

Answer 1

VS Code support workbench theming now, check this

Which means, in settings we can do as below to customise colours,

"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
   "sideBar.background": "#111111"
 }
