I have disabled some color and auto tag extensions. Doesn't get help.

Actually, it happened for an extension named "Indented Block highlight."
After disabling the extension, that area highlighting is gone away.

Customize background color of suggested text

Does anyone know whether it's possible to customize the background of a text after it has been suggested by IntelliSense? I'm using the Everblush theme.
As you can see in the GIF, after selecting the suggested "activityBar.activeBackground" option in the settings.json, I get this annoying white background between the two quotes. This also happens with brackets and with other programming languages (Rust for example).
Do you have any idea on how to change this?
Keep in mind that this happens only after I press the ENTER key on option given by IntelliSense. It has nothing to do with normal text highlighting.
Following rioV8 suggestion, I found out that the option for this particular case is editor.snippetTabstopHighlightBackground.

see my screenshot so you can understand what I want. Thank you.
I tried to change the settings but if I uncheck this open option that color box is disappear,

How can I change the highlight colour of an error message in VS code?

I have been struggling to read error messages on yellow background with white text (image below). Any ideas, on how can I change the highlight color? I am aware that I need to do in the user settings and this page (https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/theme-color) shows which settings I can change, but there are so many options and I have no idea from the info given which one corresponds to my problem. Thank you!

You can go to settings.json in VsCode and then, search for
"editor.rangeHighlightBackground":"Color code"
and replace the previous color code to whatever color you want.

How to remove gutter area from VS Code from both side

There seems to be some bug in VS Code, I exited ZenMode and can see gutter on both side of VS Code. This is making my coding area small and I am not able to remove it. Can someone please help me here
This happened with me earlier also, I had to reinstall VS Code, But can't do it every now and then. So need a permanent solution.
Please refer to red marked area in image below.
Note: I have tried basic troubleshooting like restarting, removing themes, removing all settings etc.
I also tried solutions mentioned below, but those are not the gutters I am referring to

How do I change the Gutter Width in VS Code?
Edit
Obviously I missunderstood your question. You want to turn off that behaviour when you are not in zen mode.
To do so press F1 and execute the command View: Toggle Centered Layout.
I found the answer in one of VS Code's issues.
To turn off the centered layout in zen mode read the original answer.
Original answer
In your settings turn off the center layout for zen mode by unchecking the setting Zen Mode: Center Layout or if you prefer the json settings set
{
"zenMode.centerLayout": false
}
Now there won't be any space between the activity bar and the first editor tab.

Netbeans: How to change error row highlighting color away from red

I've dug through every damn color setting under Tools> Options. Went through every Fonts & Color, Editor, PHP etc and I'll be damned if I can figure out how to change the background row highlighting for when you have an error. I've been able to change ever other color to fit my personal preference cept this one. Here's a screen shot of the problem:
I would like to change the background red to a dark red so the text is easier to ready.
Using Netbeans 7.4
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Edit: Per Ben's point, here's the current options and the code behind the panel to show it's not working:
Final update, here's the end result which is close enough:
By looking at your screenshots (correct me if I am wrong) I can see that you have set your current row highlighting to red:
Tools-> Options-> Fonts&Colors-> Highlighting(Tab)-> Highlight Caret Row
As far as I know you can't set different background highlighting options for errors. So what you can do is set the formatting options for errors:
Font: No need to explain this.
Foreground: This is the text color if you change this it will disregard all other formatting options that you may have set, so lets leave it as is.
Background: This is what you want to change so that text don't get lost in the formatting. If you scroll to the bottom you can also set custom colors.
Effects: Irrelevant
Effect Color: Disabled if effects is None and only applies to the effect.
As you can see I set mine to yellow just as an example.
As you can see in this screen shot my background highlighting is light grey as well as my string formatting. So it is impossible to read, but by changing the error formatting this is the result:
Alternatively you can just select another background highlighting color that suits your formatting better.
Try Fonts&Colors->Syntax->Error
You can also try setting the Annotations color for "Error", mine was set to a specific color (after importing a theme) instead of 'Inherited', making text unreadable in a similar way.
This was really annoying for me too and most answers didn't help. I think that I have figured it out.
In netbeans 12 you need to change two things.
Tools->Options->Fonts&Colors->Syntax->Java->Error->change background color. This will only change the background of the code in error and not the red background of the rest of the lines white space.
To fix the red on the whitespace.
Tools->Options->Fonts&Colors->Annotations->Error(the one with the exclamation point)->change background color
I selected inherited to have no whitespace highlighting.
