VSCode Extension Icons? - visual-studio-code

Just installed VSCode and went to install some extensions and noticed that no icons were showing up associated with the extensions. Yes I know thats of no real consequence but it just really stood out compared to the screen shots on the vscode page.
This is what is shown as a screen shot on the vscode page:
This is what I see in vscode:

I found the fix was as simple as dragging the window splitter and making it larger. Icons will then appear. The view was simply too compact for the icons apparently.

How to get rid of GitLen+ Pro screen in VS Code?

I installed GitLens in VS Code. Then it asked if I wanted to try the GitLens+ features. I clicked "Yes". Now I am stuck at the welcome screen and can't get past it. Any ideas how to get rid of this annoying screen?
Uninstall gitlens extension. Productivity extensions shouldn't reduce productivity by putting up adds that can't easily be closed.
I had the same problem, but I was able to solve it by following the steps below.
Open the sidebar extension
Click the down arrow to the right of the uninstall
Install another version
Install 11.7.0
Reload
But there was no Gitlens in the sidebar
So next
"git lens: show welcome view" in the command palette
Select "git lenses layout" in "view" of "quick setup"
Gitlens is displayed in the sidebar
Then install the latest version
Gitlens is displayed in the sidebar
I hope it helps you even a little.
Go to VS Code command Pallete and select GitLens+: Sign out of Gitlens+
that should get you to the previous experience.
you can also use the the VSCode Command Pallete to display the views you want, such as
I think I had the same issue on Windows (now I'm on my mac) so I went back to Windows, created a new account, and started the trial since logging off of my account on Windows didn't result in that scenario.
I couldn't reproduce it on Windows either.
I'm thinking that might be a glitch, I'm sure you already tried to close VSCode and open again, so, maybe try to sign out and sign in again.
If you want to remove the "home" view, use the elipses on the top right and untick it. Also, check if the other views are enabled.
The problem here is that when we install GitLens extension then all the GitLens features and buttons are added under the generic source control tab (Ctrl+shift+G). Even though GitLens creates a new tab of its own and it looks like all features and buttons are hiding behind the welcome screen. This is not the case and everything but the welcome screen is under the generic source control tab. Poor design choice indeed.
Hide GitLens+ Features from the Command Palette GitLens+: Hide GitLens+ Features
To restore from the Command Palette GitLens+: Restore GitLens+ Features
Step 1. Uninstall GitLens
This avoids fiddling with settings to try to stop it being nag-ware.
Step 2. Install Git Graph
This has the nicest "railway-track" display of commits that I have come across, although the dev seems to be not responding to contact during 2022.
An alternative is Git History, which remains under active development, although its railway-track display is less compact and efficient.

Visual Studio Code theme issue

I am irritated by this. I tried uninstalling all the themes (I guess), but still the theme does not seem to be working.
How do I fix this?
When the IDE is untouched for few seconds, this comes up like the old screen saver we had in Windows covering up the entire VS Code slowly.
It doesn't seem to be a theme in my opinion. Perhaps, some issue with the display driver.
You can always try reinstalling vscode, just make sure to sync your settings if you've customized vscode .
If the issue persists, you can try changing the graphics settings by selecting display settings from Window's right click context menu -> selecting graphics settings and adding VScode to the list by browsing to its exe location, and then select power saving to make vscode use the integrated GPU if you're on a laptop.

vscode on mac is incorrectly highlighting text around text blocks

It is very annoying to see that background around code is lighter then the rest of the program. When the cursor moves the highlighting moves up and down to full window width. Can you please propose solution how to turn this highlighting off. Same problem is in output of task log, and in file explorer.
I have deleted all the settings and Application data and I have same problem. I have installed vscode on windows and I do not have this problem with same settings.
Unfortunately this is an issue in Chromium. You can work around this by starting VS Code with --disable-gpu from the command line.

It appears this can be fixed for some users by selecting a different color profile in macOS display settings. Note that you have to change this separately for all monitors that you use.
For me, "Apple RGB" will show these blocks, and switching to "LED Cinema Display" or "iMac" solves the issue.

Samsung TV Emulator font size

Can someone please help me with this issue. I've been banging my head to find the solution but no help...
The problem is that Samsung TV Emulator displays everything enlarged (line font-size 30ish pixels) and there does seem to have a way to override it. This only happens within Samsung UI components.
To make sure it wasn't something with my project I've downloaded sample project from Brightcove: Sample project but noticed the same behavior with that as well.
Here is the screenshot of my "project". It only one scene with two UI components: http://tinypic.com/r/124evqc/6
Opposed to that, here's what I see in my IDE view: http://tinypic.com/r/ezmn4l/6. As a side-note, I had to put height: 20px in both of my UI components' CSS in order for IDE to show them that way.
Can anyone suggest what am I supposed to do?
Seems like the button is adding 20px to its previous object, check this, maybe it helps
