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 BrowserWindow options.
  • 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

  1. 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.
  2. Configure: Add your customizations to your settings.json file. See the Example and Configurations sections for details.
  3. Apply: Open the Command Palette (<kbd>Ctrl+Shift+P</kbd> or <kbd>Cmd+Shift+P</kbd>) and run Custom UI Style: Reload to apply your changes.
  4. Rollback: To revert all changes and restore the original VSCode files, run Custom UI Style: Rollback from the Command Palette.
