Change error highlight color in vs code

Question

I build a project and get some problems in the \"Problems view\", I click on the problem to see a line of code with that problem highlighted.

And it gets highlighted

Answer 1

Apparently, you can actually change it without using an extension. I created an issue and got the answer that this color is called editor.rangeHighlightBackground and you can override it in your User Settings (settings.json) by:

{
    "workbench.colorCustomizations": {
        "editor.rangeHighlightBackground": "#00AA00"
    }
}

To open User Settings just use Cmd+, on mac or Ctrl+, on windows
