Set different color scheme for VS Code from running in WSL


When developing, I often run two Visual Studio Code editors side to side - one directly from Windows and another from WSL. Every now and then I do something in one editor, and only after a while I realize it is the wrong instance... so I have to repeat the whole process in the other VS code.

Is it somehow possible to start the WSL Code in a different color scheme? So I could immediately tell - this is the code from Windows and that is the code. I know, there is a note up in the window frame. But a changed color scheme would be more apparent.


Solution

  • try setting the workbench.colorTheme setting in the workspace/folder settings.json file
