About Custom UI Style
Custom UI Style is a VSCode extension that allows you to customize the editor's appearance and behavior by injecting custom CSS and JavaScript. You can unify the global font family, set a background image, modify Electron BrowserWindow options, add your own custom styles and scripts, and even patch files in other VSCode extensions.
- Works with VSCode 1.120! (Tested on Windows and MacOS)
- Support Agents window
[!warning]
This extension works by modifying the VSCode's source css and js files.
❗CLAIM
Untested on Linux and VSCode forks (like Cursor, WindSurf, etc.), and I currently lack the energy to adapt them. If this extension causes issues in your editor, please consider using these more mature alternative extensions
Features
- Unify the global font family for the editor and webviews.
- Set a background image for the editor window.
- Apply custom stylesheets to both the editor and webviews.
- Configure Electron
BrowserWindowoptions. - Support for restarting VSCode to apply changes.
- Suppress the "Your Code installation is corrupt" message.
- Load external CSS and JavaScript files.
- Patch files in other extensions.
Usage
- Backup: When you first install the extension or after a VSCode update, you'll be prompted to create a backup of the original files. This is important for rollback.
- Configure: Add your customizations to your
settings.jsonfile. See the Example and Configurations sections for details. - Apply: Open the Command Palette (<kbd>Ctrl+Shift+P</kbd> or <kbd>Cmd+Shift+P</kbd>) and run
Custom UI Style: Reloadto apply your changes. - Rollback: To revert all changes and restore the original VSCode files, run
