Window color stays modified after uninstalling extension

Untitled-1

I have uninstalled the extension from the workspace, from the remote, and from local. I have deleted every .json file I could locate regarding vs-code settings. I have uninstalled and reinstalled VS Code. This is unacceptable; I don't even want to open VS Code anymore because I despise this color and it won't go away.

At this point I'm going to have to re-install it purely to be able to change it to a color I don't loathe, and that is far from an ideal solution.

Have you checked the .code-workspace file for the workspace you have open in that screenshot? This extension will automatically add the colour scheme there too.

Look for "workbench.colorCustomizations" in your settings.json file (project and global levels), and probably delete that whole section.

Worst case, try adding this:

  "workbench.colorCustomizations": {
    "activityBar.background": false,
    "titleBar.activeBackground": false,
    "titleBar.activeForeground": false,
  }

I have no idea where does it store this color settings, tried my best to find :( Can't get rid of nasty border color after uninstalling the extension. Very unpleasant extension!

This worked dude. Can't thank you enough! Such a shitty extension to use

This extension writes configs into workspace's settings.json.

  1. For getting rid of this, cmd/ctrl+shift+p then type: Preferences: Open Workspace Settings (JSON)

  2. Delete the codes below:

  "workbench.colorCustomizations": {
    "editor.lineHighlightBackground": "#1073cf2d",
    "editor.lineHighlightBorder": "#9fced11f",
    "activityBar.background": "#04351C",
    "titleBar.activeBackground": "#054A28",
    "titleBar.activeForeground": "#F0FEF7"
  },
  1. Repeat until all of your workspaces become normal.
