Why is the Visual Studio Code native-mode menu dropdown white, even though I have dark mode activated in my desktop's settings?

Why is the Visual Studio Code native-mode menu dropdown white, even though I have dark mode activated and I use Fedora Linux and the dark mode is activated in Fedora, yet it is white? What is the solution as shown in the picture?
I don't try anything because I can't know the problem.
I'm not sure why the native title bar mode is showing up for you with light mode colouring. Supposedly, you can switch to dark mode on the GNOME desktop environment with the following:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme Adwaita-dark
(or whatever other dark mode theme is available on your machine)
But if that doesn't work, you can get colouring consistent with your selected colour theme in VS Code by putting this in your settings.json:
"window.titleBarStyle": "custom",
The description for that setting:
Adjust the appearance of the window title bar. On Linux and Windows, this setting also affects the application and context menu appearances. Changes require a full restart to apply.

Visual Studio: how to show the current font size?

Any way to show the current font size on the status bar on Visual Studio Code?

Visual Studio Code on Windows 7 - window has no borders

I'm running VS Code on Win 7 with aero off and the Win 7 "Basic" theme. I'm using the VS light theme on VSCode. This means that editor windows and such have a white background. Apps that obey the Win 7 theme has a boundary around them to delineate where the window ends. VSCode doesn't appear to obey this -
Notice how the window just bleeds into the window behind it. I find this visually disorienting. Yes, a different theme with a dark background would solve this, but I have a strong preference for dark text on a light (white) background.
Is there any way to force VSCode to use the Win 7 windows layout?
VSCode will use the OS standard window decorations, including window frame borders, if you set the "Window: Title Bar Style" setting to "native". (It affects more than just the title bar.)

How to change size of window tab font in Visual Studio Code?

My computer is 4k display and the tab font is too tiny now. How to change the size of window tab font in as shown in this picture?
The window.zoomLevel setting can be accessed using:
File > Preferences > Settings and search for "zoomlevel"
VS Code Screenshot of window.zoomLevel Setting
This setting appears to zoom everything in the window, except for the top menubar.
I use a zoomLevel of 0.5.
After changing it to 0.5, I reduced my setting for editor.fontSize, to avoid the fontsize in the code editor becoming too large.
An alternative to modifying window.zoomLevel in settings is to use Ctrl + and Ctrl - to modify window.zoomLevel in increments of 1.
(I don't think VS Code currently has any option to configure only the size of the font used for the tab names.)
Please create a feature request for this on the repository.

How to make visual studio code sidebar smaller without compromising the font size of the code inside the editor

I want to make the icons(explorer, search, source control etc.) on the left side of the code editors smaller in size. But when I do command - it reduces the size of the code's font within the editor too. How do I go about this?
Currently, the only way I am aware of is what I do:
Click on Preferences, Settings, scroll down to Editor: Font Size, and change it from the default of 12 to 14 or 16.
Then click Command + - and it will shrink all the fonts (and the file font too). This is where making the file fonts bigger comes in—the file fonts will be back to "normal" when you shrink everything.
