Does anyone know if theres a way to customize VSCode more than what is available? I really hate the flat design and blocky layout. Would like to see more customizability. Does VSCodium allow this?

    Maybe “blocky” isn’t the right word, but I dislike that everything is just a flat rectangle and not very readable. There’s no depth and very poor visual separation. I would like a document type UI where I can rearrange the components arbitrarily, like in Visual Studio

      fwiw, VS Code has 3 “tooling areas” - for the lack of a better name - other than the editor itself:

      A panel (bottom area) and two sidebars: primary (usually on the left) and secondary (usually on the right).

      You can drag and drop tabs in each of these areas to move things around, and even split one of these areas to hold two or more things.

      e.g.:

      • you can make the sidebar share “file explorer” and “git”;
      • put “terminal” and “outline” together on the secondary side bar;
      • move “docker” to the bottom panel

      it’s pretty flexible
