☢️ How to enable the "Radioactive Glow"
To get the full Grog experience with real neon glow effects (like SynthWave '84), follow these steps:
Step 1: Install the Custom CSS and JS Loader extension
Step 2: Open your VS Code settings.json:
- Press
Ctrl+Shift+P → Type "Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON)"
Step 3: Add this configuration to your settings.json:
"vscode_custom_css.imports": [
"file:///C:/PATH/TO/grog-glow.css"
]
Replace PATH/TO/ with the actual path where you saved the grog-glow.css file
Step 4: Download the grog-glow.css file from this repository and save it to a permanent location
Step 5: Enable the custom CSS:
- Press
Ctrl+Shift+P → Type "Enable Custom CSS and JS"
- Click "Restart" when prompted
Step 6: VS Code will show a "corrupted installation" warning - this is normal!
- Click "Don't Show Again" - this happens because VS Code detects modified files
To disable the glow: Press Ctrl+Shift+P → "Disable Custom CSS and JS" → Restart
⚠️ Note: You may need to re-enable custom CSS after VS Code updates.
