Peacock workspace colors

0:00

Do you ever get lost with all your Versus Code editors open? Well, luckily, the Peacock extension can help you out. By default, Peacock changes the color of your Versus Code workspace and you can have different ones for every project you've got open. Before we get too deep in it, in case you didn't remember, we stream live 10AM to 6PM eastern time on Twitch every day coworking, listening to some lo fi beats. Come check us out at twitch.tv/baldbeardedbuilder and hang out with us.

But back to Peacock. One of the things that's nice is it comes with some built in favorite colors. But if you don't wanna like specify certain things, you can just say give me a random color or enter in a hex code and it'll change into it. Out of the box, it's just gonna change like your title bar, the activity bar down the side, but you can change that in the settings to color anything you want. It also comes with some really nice integrations like remote development or even live share.

For instance, you could say if I'm a guest on a live share, color the window green. But if I'm hosting a live share, color that workspace red so I know that other people can see it. And you're welcome for the help finding your windows from now on. Until next time.
