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

Since every theme is so different, you probably don't want to make changes like this globally. Instead, specify them on a per-theme basis: e.g.:

"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
    "[Some Theme Name]": {
        "statusBar.background" : "#486357",
        "statusBar.foreground" : "#c8e9c5",
    },
    "[Some Other Theme Name]": {
        "statusBar.background" : "#385357",
        "statusBar.foreground" : "#d7e9c4",
    }
},

That way when you switch between your favorite themes, your customizations of them will not be forgotten, and will make sense in that context.

if you are using vimvscode plugin , the best way to change status bar color depending on mode is to go to settings , search for "status bar color" and check "allow vscode to change color based on mode"

Here is a snapshot of vimvscode's plugin status color control:

You can change the color by edit extensions:

 "colors":{
        "statusBar.background": "#505050",
    },
