How to turn off the highlighting of folded code in VSCode?

Question

Today, something has changed in my VSCode. Can anyone help me with this?

Does anybody know how to turn off the highlighting of folded code in VSCode like in the example screenshot?

Answer 1

File -> Preferences -> Settings

Then search for 'Folding highlight' and uncheck the box. That will turn off the highlight.

Answer 2

You can also change the color and/or opacity of the folded highlight with this colorCustomization in your settings.json:

"workbench.colorCustomizations": {

   // last two digits `aa` in this case below are opacity
  "editor.foldBackground": "#ff0000aa"
}
