I love Peacock! It really helps manage different projects without confusing them. Thanks for sharing! 🤘🏼

As a coder, I only prefer dark themes :)

Peacock is very nice ! Don’t forget gitignore .vscode config for your collaborators 🤘🏼

I like it.
Quite in your face and not necessarily pretty, but helps a lot with quickly figuring out the right window.
A lot of configuration options to make it work with other plugins. For example I use a plugin to change my status bar depending on the VIM mode, so I can just disable status bar coloring in Peacock by setting peacock.affectStatusBar to false.
