Common Issues

Code installation is corrupt

This warning may appear after running the uninstall command, reopen VSCode for this to disappear.

VSCode stopped working

This extension modifies an internal file to make backgrounds work, if VSCode stops working replace %LocalAppData%\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\resources\app\out\vs\workbench\workbench.desktop.main.js with workbench.desktop.main-backup.js.

This extension also modifies %LocalAppData%\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\resources\app\product.json, replace with product-backup.json if VSCode stops working.

Disable/uninstall doesn't remove background

Backgrounds are not removed on extension disable or uninstall, you must run the Background: Uninstall command to remove backgrounds.

Background doesn't work on window buttons (minimize/maximize/close)

These buttons are controlled by the system and not VSCode; and can not be modified by this extension.

 

(Windows) Doesn't work on WSL

Backgrounds can not be changed while running this extension in a remote WSL window. Backgrounds must be changed by making changes in the main VSCode window, then opening the remote WSL window.

(Mac) read-only file system

This extension doesn't natively support Mac, write permissions must be granted to the VSCode application:

  1. Move Visual Studio Code.app from Download to the Application directory.
  2. Run sudo chmod -R a+rwx '/Applications/Visual Studio Code.app' to grant write permissions.

(Linux) snap: read-only file system

Applications installed using snap are inherently read-only, install VSCode using deb or rpm.
