Current Behavior

I'm experiencing an issue where I see the vibrancy effect for a split second after launching VSCode but it then immediately goes away.

I recorded a short video demonstrating this behavior.

Expected Behavior

The vibrancy effect to stay in place.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Select Dark+ (default dark) theme.
  2. Install extension
  3. Run "Reload Vibrancy"
  4. Restart VSCode

Environment

- OS: Windows 11 (Version 10.0.22621.3296)
- VSCode: 1.87.2
- Extension: 1.1.29
- Theme: Dark+ (default dark)

Anything else?

Do you have any other extensions that modify internal VSCode files, like APC or VSCode animations? Also, please try reinstalling VSCode, this will help ensure that your installation is consistent and you won't lose any settings.

I have the same issue as you. Moreover, my extension always turns my background to light themes. For now, I still don't know how I can fix it.

The same with me, on MacOs Sonoma i try to reinstall vscode to, without any others extensions.

It's now working after I disabled APC extension (it conflicts) and switched to Pre-Release Version. Even after returning to Release Version, vibrancy is now working.

Now I'm waiting for PR #134 to be merged.

If anyone is still experiencing this issue, please reply to this thread with info about your OS version, VSCode version, extension version and the theme you're using. Additionally, ensure that you don't have transparency effects disabled globally through your OS settings. This can usually be found under Accessibility settings, and it may be called "Transparency effects" or "Reduce transparency."

Now I'm waiting for PR #134 to be merged.

It is now merged and the fix is available in v1.1.34

I found the core of the problem. In Settings > Extensions > Vibrancy Effect, my "Vscode_vibrancy: Theme" was set to "Default Dark" instead of "Dark+". As soon as I changed it to "Dark+" and restarted, the effect started working.

I don't even have the "Dark+" option there.

Correct, there is no such option in the current version of Vibrancy. Perhaps they meant that they've changed their VSCode theme to Dark+. If anyone experiencing this issue is willing to provide the info I've requested, then I could try to help.

I meant "Solarized Dark+" as the only "Dark+" theme available. Additionally, that specific setting does not change automatically with the theme, which breaks the transparency effect. I have to manually change it to match the VSCode theme. Furthermore, the Default Dark/Light themes do not show the effect for me, even with the corresponding theme selected.
