Features

What this extension is doing under the hood:

  • activate zen mode
  • increase font size to 20
  • disables VSCode rules
  • highlights current line: to enable set writerMode.highlightCurrentLine to true in vs code settings
  • customize color of current line highlight by setting writerMode.highlightBorderColor to color in hex format - like #fff

All those setting changes are first applied to workspace settings and in case of not having workspace extension will override global settings.

Deactivating of extension brings back old settings.

Requirements

You need to have vs code version greater than 1.8 to activate zen mode.

Known Issues

This extension is before version 1.0.0 so you may expect bugs.
