For ease of configuration, this extension takes the form of directly configuring tasks.json

By default, this extension will show all vscode-tasks on the status bar.If you want to hide a task, add the following configuration:

        {
            "type":"shell",
            "label":"test",
            "command": "echo",
            "args": [
                "arg1"
            ],
            "options": {
                "tasksHereDisplay": "hide"
            }
        }

By default, this extension uses the label of the task as the display name on the status bar. But if these names are too long to fit for display, you can customize the name with the following configuration:

        {
            "type":"shell",
            "label":"the label is long to show",
            "command": "echo",
            "args": [
                "arg1"
            ],
            "options": {
                "tasksHereName": "test"
            }
        }

If you prefer, you can even customize a name with an icon to help you better distinguish between tasks. This feature is provided by the VSCode API

        {
            "type":"shell",
            "label":"this label is to long to display",
            "command": "echo",
            "args": [
                "arg1"
            ],
            "options": {
                "tasksHereName": "$(squirrel) test"
            }
        }
