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
There is a stronger, more robust solution than the above answers in my opinion, and thats to change the status bar color based on the file you're working on - its called ColorTabs
and it allows you to provide a list of regexes and change that color based on that.
Disclaimer - I wrote the extension Enjoy!
