When not using tabs in Visual Studio Code, it still shows a bar with the name of the currently open file.
Editor title bar
Is there a way to disable this bar completely?
You can use this setting to hide the title bar: "window.titleBarStyle": "custom". It can be accessed via menu File → Preferences → Settings → Window → Title Bar Style and set it to custom.
On macOS, hiding the title bar doesn't appear to be natively supported at the moment.
Update: The Customize UI extension isn't working for the moment, but I'm preserving the rest of my answer in case it becomes supported again:
If you're willing to install an extension, the Customize UI extension has a macOS-only customizeUI.titleBar setting:
inline: places window controls in the sidebar or tab bar.
frameless: hides window controls.
Note that this setting requires that "window.titleBarStyle": "native" is also set.
Here's what the inline setting looks like:
Install the custom CSS extension.
Now in your custom stylesheet:
.container > .title {
display: none !important;
}
After, run the command "Enable custom css / js" (and restart).
I played around with suggested options from VSCode and found this to work
make sure that you have your Window Title Bar Style set to custom
open the settings.json file located in /Users/{your-username}/Library/Applcation\ Support/Code/User/settings.json
Append the following to the JSON object
"editor.titleBar.enabled": false
Another option could be to try setting this option in the settings file
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
"titleBar.forground": "#00000000",
"titleBar.activeForeground": "#00000000",
"titleBar.background": "#00000000",
"titleBar.activeBackground": "#00000000",
...
This is my machine settings
here's a comprehensive list of options you can use to tweak the current the or even your own theme. no additional 3rd party extensions are needed, just tine in the saddle!
happy coding =)
I faced this issue today, so according to the screenshot you attached it looks like file path is showing with a title bar. So to hide this completely, you can remove this property called "workbench.editor.showTabs" if it's value is false from settings.json file situated in /Users/(user_name)/Library/Application Support/Code/User/settings.json
File → Preferences → Settings → Window → Title Bar Style
Now choose custom title bar.

Currently the top bar on GNOME takes a good amount of space. Also it doesn't look good(imo). How would i be able to change this?
How to set it up

Chane the Window:Title Bar Style from native to custom . Boom! Reload your vscode, and you have a window-like title bar
{

I have the most recent copy of VSCode.
I'd like to change the background color and font on the "Problems" panel in the terminal window.
I have used theJSON settings to set up the background on the terminal window itself but can't seem to find a setup for the problems panel.
Thanks for looking.
Look at the panel properties to change the Problems panel.
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
"panel.background": "#0b698f",
"panel.border": "#ff510060"
}
But it will change the background for all the panel items, like Terminal, Problems, Debug Console, etc.
You can override that setting for the Terminal only:
"terminal.background": "#ff0000",
It would appear that the Problems panel fontFamily cannot be independently set as I see only these two panel fontFamily properties:
"terminal.integrated.fontFamily"
"debug.console.fontFamily"
You might be able to figure out how to do it with the Custom CSS and JS extension. See, for example, How to change the font in VS Code's 'Explorer' window?
Maybe it is <div class="composite panel markers-panel"

It is breadcrumbs option. From Preferences -> Settings, type breadcrumb in text box until seeing the options below and uncheck the Breadcrumbs option to disable it.
This top bar is called "breadcrumbs". You can disable it in the visual user settings editor by unticking the checkbox or adding this line to your JSON config:
// settings.json
{
"breadcrumbs.enabled": false,
}
From the View menu, uncheck ✔ Show Breadcrumbs.
Is there a way to change the Title Bar color for Visual Studio Code (v1.26.0)?
Menu File → Preferences → Settings
Look for "window.titleBarStyle": "native", copy it to your user settings, and change it to "window.titleBarStyle": "custom". It will adapt your theme now.
If the current color is not what you want or you want to tweak it, try doing this.
In your user settings, add the following.
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
"[Name of the Current Theme you are using]": {
"titleBar.activeBackground": "#191919cc",
"titleBar.activeForeground":"#ffffff",
},
},
"window.titleBarStyle": "custom"
Open menu File → Preferences → Settings and add the following setting:
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
"titleBar.activeBackground": "#553955" // Change this color!
},
"window.titleBarStyle": "custom"
From the following source:
Colorful Visual Studio Code titlebars for better productivity
There is now a handy Visual Studio Code marketplace plugin called Window Colors which automatically colors the activitybar and titlebar of every window uniquely.
Just go to extensions and type: window colors
For more information, see the Visual Studio Code marketplace webpage.
Edit (Sept 2020): Just noticed that on Ubuntu 20.04 I had to set the preferences->titlebar setting from native to custom in the VSCode Preferences. Otherwise the titlebar does not change colors. Also see this issue on github here- the input from #musicfuel solved it for me.
John Papa launched Peacock a few months back. I've been using the same since then.
It's an easy-to-use plugin with a great set of commands to work with.
It is highly customize-able.
Also it has emphasis on BrandColors which comes in handy when you're simultaneously working on several different projects involving different frameworks and libraries.
In case somebody is still interested. I am using Color Stamp plug
For further tweaks, I changed the following parameters in my vscode project settings
.vscode\settings.json
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
"titleBar.activeBackground": "#7C21D7",
"titleBar.border": "#ebe8e8",
"titleBar.inactiveBackground": "#7c21d77c",
"titleBar.activeForeground": "#ebe8e8",
"statusBar.background": "#7C21D7",
"statusBar.debuggingBackground": "#7C21D7",
"statusBar.noFolderBackground": "#7C21D7",
"statussBar.prominentBackground": "#7C21D7",
"statusBar.foreground": "#ebe8e8"
}
Note that VSCode 1.45 (April 2020) will offer additional settings:
New theme colors for editor tabs
Some new colors where added to further theme workbench editor tabs:
tab.unfocusedInactiveBackground: Inactive tab background color in an unfocused group
tab.hoverForeground: Tab foreground color when hovering
tab.unfocusedHoverForeground: Tab foreground color in an unfocused group when hovering
New theme color for editor title border
The existing color editorGroupHeader.tabsBorder changed to render a border below tabs but above breadcrumbs.
A new color editorGroupHeader.border allows to render a border below the editor group header (i.e. below breadcrumbs if enabled) to restore the previous behaviour of editorGroupHeader.tabsBorder.
Please apply these simple steps.
Menu File → Preferences → Settings
Look for "window.titleBarStyle": "native", and change it to "window.titleBarStyle": "custom". It will adapt your theme now.
If the current color is not what you want or you want to tweak it, try doing this.
In your user settings, add the following.
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
"titleBar.activeBackground": "#191919cc",
"titleBar.activeForeground":"#ffffff",
},
I've created a simple Visual Studio Code plugin which accepts a list of regular expressions and colors and changes the titleBar based on them. It's great for working on mono repositories or large projects with multiple packages (like Lerna, or React + React Native)
ColorTabs
Changing the theme of Visual Studio Code will change the title bar color.
Menu File → Preferences → Color theme
Then switch to a different color theme, this will change the title color.
I can't find any option, setting, or keyboard shortcut that disables or hides that annoying scrollbar. I just don't find it useful and it's distracting.
Can't just edit the editor's CSS like Atom, either.
Remove Minimap
Add the following to your settings.json file
"editor.minimap.enabled": false
Note that, as pointed out in another answer, this process has now been simplified to:
View->Show Minimap
Remove the Overview Ruler
Add the following to your settings.json file
"editor.hideCursorInOverviewRuler": true
This will keep the scrollbar, but will result in it only appearing when the cursor is within the editor, as seen in the image below:
Completely remove scrollbars (requires restart)
If you would like to completely remove the scrollbars, add the following to your settings.json file (note the editor will say "Unknown configuration setting" - ignore this. It will still work):
"editor.scrollbar.horizontal": "hidden",
"editor.scrollbar.vertical": "hidden"
This will result in the scrollbars not being visible even when the cursor is in the editor, as seen in the image below:
Ctrl + Shift + P -> Open User Settings
"editor.minimap.enabled": false
Try this,
view->toggle minimap
or after version 1.43
view->show minimap
Removing the scroll bar
These no longer work:
"editor.scrollbar.horizontal": "hidden",
"editor.scrollbar.vertical": "hidden"
However, this will set the size of the scroll bar to 0:
"editor.scrollbar.verticalScrollbarSize": 0,
The toolip says "Unknown Configuration Setting" but it works for me.
(Visual Studio Code 1.39.2)
So this is an unofficial method as instructed on accepted answer by #badfilms. You can read about it here
After adding, restart vscode:
"editor.scrollbar.horizontal": "hidden",
"editor.scrollbar.vertical": "hidden"
This gives and "Unknown configuration settings", ignore it.
Then to remove the scrollbar seperator or ruler border, add this:
"editor.overviewRulerBorder": false
Goto View and deselect Minimap.
tested Visual Studio version: VS Community 2017 Version 15.8.2
Tools --> Options
Search for "scroll"
click on "Text Editor" title from the results on the left side.
click "Use bar mode for vertical scroll bar" under "Behavior" section and then click "OK"
Here is a screenshot:
You can toggle it from the top bar "View > Show Minimap",
But you can also define it as a keyboard shortcut!
Go to: "File > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts"
Search: "Minimap"
Select: "View: Toggle Minimap"
Select the keyboard you wish to link (I used Ctrl+M)
In Visual Studio 2019
Right click on the scroll bar and select "Scroll Bar Options" from the context menu.
This will display the settings for the Scroll Bars.
Under the Behavior heading halfway down, select "Use bar mode for vertical scroll bar" then click Ok. This removed the map mode from the bar.
View --> Show Minimap -click it to uncheck it-
Just to update the situation, in the past the settings mentioned above worked, despite showing an unknown configuration error, after a reload, because they had not been officially exposed to users. With v1.58 these settings will be "official" and not require a reload.
editor.scrollbar.vertical - 'auto' | 'visible' | 'hidden'
editor.scrollbar.horizontal - 'auto' | 'visible' | 'hidden'
editor.scrollbar.verticalScrollbarSize - number
editor.scrollbar.horizontalScrollbarSize - number
editor.scrollbar.scrollByPage - boolean
See Expose editor scrollbar options and react to them being updated.
once you go to the user setting it has default setting left had side as bellow and
there is a pensile mark on where click and automatically appear true false then right had side custom setting change. Thats how I did it thanks Alexandru.
think this may help you.
Default value of Scroll Beyond Last Column is 5 which does horizontal scrollbar visible and operate. Set the value to 0 removes horizontal scrollbar.
Settings options
for hidden scroll bar add into setting.json
`"window.scrollBarVisibility": "hidden",`
for hidden minimap add :
"editor.minimap.enabled": false,
For all projects

Then change this values as on screenshot:
