Important Notice

VSCode Corruption Warning

Upon installation, you might see a warning about VS Code being "corrupt." This is due to the extension modifying VS Code's CSS file. You can safely dismiss this warning and prevent it from reappearing.

For removing the "[Unsupported]" title bar warning, use Fix VSCode Checksums.

Supported Operating Systems

Windows Compatibility Issue: Due to breaking changes in Electron 27 with VSCode 1.86 and newer, the Glassmorphism effect might not work as expected on Windows 10/11. We've identified a temporary fix, but it disables window snap and maximize features, which we find too inconvenient to roll out.

Recommended Solution: For an uninterrupted Glassmorphism experience on Windows, please downgrade to VSCode version 1.85.2, available here: https://update.code.visualstudio.com/1.85.2/win32-x64-user/stable. We're working on a better fix and will update you as soon as possible.
