Important

Before uninstalling this extension, you must disable it first by running "Snow Background: Disable" from the Command Palette. This removes the injected code from VS Code. If you uninstall without disabling, the snow effect may persist or cause issues.

Note

After enabling, VS Code will show a "corrupted" warning. This is harmless — click the gear icon and select "Don't Show Again".
