The latest version of VSCode (1.9.4) broke any customizations that you might have done if you followed my VSCode video or anyone's VSCode tutorial that used APC Customize UI++ extension.

So can we fix it?

Huge shoutout to @glennraya for the inspiration and techniques shown in his Transforming VS Code video.

Keep creating.

After a VS Code update broke custom settings, an alternative approach using the Custom CSS and JS Loader extension is explored. This method involves creating custom CSS and JavaScript files for VS Code customization. The new setup draws inspiration from Glenn Rhea's video and retains some previous functionalities, such as blurring the background when the command palette is open. However, certain features like dual-pane icons and native title bar customization on Mac OS have been lost. Downgrading VS Code or experimenting with other editors like Zed are suggested solutions.
