Give each VS Code workspace its own identity — a custom window title and a unique title bar / status bar color so you always know which project you're in at a glance.
Features
Custom window title — set a short nickname per workspace (stored in .code-workspace settings, never in global config)
Identity color — paint the title bar and status bar with a color you pick; each workspace gets its own shade
Auto-pivot — when you open a folder that contains a single .code-workspace file, the extension nudges you to switch to Workspace View so settings are always scoped correctly
Commands
Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P) and search for:
Command
Description
Workspace Identity: Set Project Nickname
Set the window title for the current workspace
Workspace Identity: Set Identity Color
Pick a color for the title bar and status bar
Configuration
Setting

Description
wsIdentity.autoPivot

Prompt to switch to Workspace View when a .code-workspace file is detected
How it works
Colors are written to your .code-workspace file under settings > workbench.colorCustomizations, so they travel with the repo and apply only when that workspace is open. Nothing is written to your global user settings.
