A have a small resolution on my PC so it's not very convenient to work in several tabs at the same time like: open console window, browser, code editor and some other stuff.
Console has a very cool feature: a transparent background, so it's very very comfortabe to type something in console while looking to some learning material in browser through the trasparent background.
So I guessed if there any way to make VS Code transparent so i can write code and research in browser at the same time not Alt-Tabing any time I have to switch, so I dont have to interrupt my workflow such often.
A. You may need to restart the code editor after the installation, once the application starts again, you will be able to change the opacity of Visual Studio Code by simply pressing the shortcuts CTRL + ALT + Z to increase the transparency or CTRL + ALT + C to decrease the transparency level.
In the VSCode settings (File > Preferences > Settings OR Ctrl + , ): glassit. alpha (integer): Transparency level [1-255] glassit.
When you need to get out of full-screen mode, all you have to do is click the Full Screen choice that gets added to the menu bar when you enter full screen mode. You can still display any of the tool windows you want by selecting them from the View menu.
Use VS Code extension
GlassIt-VSC
search in extension search bar
just install and enjoy it works great !
