Prizma — Color Your Windows

Instantly tell your VS Code windows apart. Prizma lets you assign a distinct color to each window so you always know which project you're looking at — no more switching to the wrong terminal or editor.

How it works

Open a project, pick a color, done. The color sticks to that project — every time you reopen it, Prizma restores it automatically. Open three projects in three windows? Three different colors. No confusion.

The color is applied to the title bar and status bar by default. You can extend it to the activity bar and editor tabs in the settings.

Free version — included colors

The free version includes the three primary colors:

Color	Hex	Preview
🔴 Red	`#ff0000`
🟡 Yellow	`#ffe143`
🔵 Blue	`#0000ff`

Want more? Prizma Pro unlocks 14 colors + a custom color picker where you can enter any hex, rgb() or CSS color name you love.

Getting started

Open a folder / project in VS Code
Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P)
Run Prizma: Set Session Color for This Window
Pick Red, Yellow or Blue
The color is saved — it will come back every time you open this project

To remove the color: run Prizma: Clear Session Color for This Window.

Commands

Command	Description
`Prizma: Set Session Color for This Window`	Open the color picker
`Prizma: Clear Session Color for This Window`	Remove the color from this window
`Prizma: Session Color — Red`	Set red directly
`Prizma: Session Color — Yellow`	Set yellow directly
`Prizma: Session Color — Blue`	Set blue directly
`Prizma: Get Pro — Unlock All 14 Colors`	Open the Prizma Pro page

Settings

You can choose which UI areas get colored. Open VS Code Settings and search for Prizma, or add this to your settings.json:

"sessionColor.applyTo": ["titleBar", "statusBar"]

Available options: titleBar · statusBar · activityBar · editorTabs

Default: titleBar and statusBar.

How the color is saved

The color is written to .vscode/settings.json inside your project folder. This means:

It is per-project — each folder remembers its own color
It works across multiple windows — open the same project in any window and it will always show the same color
A new empty window (no folder open) is always neutral — no color applied
