A Visual Studio Code extension that automatically renders every __init__.py file in the Explorer using contextual colors (empty files stay mid-grey, non-empty entries default to a subtle translucent white overlay).
Features
Control and manage __init__.py files in your Python projects directly from VS Code.
Requirements
Visual Studio Code v1.105.1 or higher
Node.js for development
Extension Settings
This extension contributes two settings:
p-init.emptyInitFileColor: Accepts a VS Code theme token (e.g. list.highlightForeground) or a hex value such as #FF4081. Hex values are stored under the pinit.decorations.initFileEmpty color token.
p-init.nonEmptyInitFileColor: Applies to non-empty __init__.py files (defaults to #FFFFFF99). Hex values are stored under pinit.decorations.initFile.
You can open the P_Init output channel (View → Output → P_Init) to view simple activation logs, including when color changes are applied.
Known Issues
None at this time.
