Change color of explorer / side bar

[andyleejordan]

Hello!

Have you been able to figure out how to change the dark grey color of the explorer and side bar? The "high contrast" theme definitely does it, but I can't find many themes that can. I love Solarized, but the dark grey on the left is terrible clash with the rest of the theme.

I don't think it's possible. The High-Contrast theme seems to trigger stylesheet changes deep inside VS Code that regular themes can't reach.

Lots of discussion about it here in this currently still open issue.

Ah, thanks for the pointer! I'll follow that issue.
