Extension Version:
VS Code Version: 1.5.3
OS Version: Windows 8.1 64-bit
Node.js Version (result of command node -v): v6.5.0
NPM Version (result of command npm -v): 3.10.3

When I going to %USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensions (Extension Locally), vscode-color folder size is too large (upper ~120 Mb) Why?

Hi @miladghiravani,

Actually, the size of the extension is 293KB only. A few NPM modules that the extension uses are installed into that folder automatically. The largest module is electron that is base of VS Code also.

@anseki Thanks for answer. But other extensions is lower than 12 Mb.

The size of this extension is 293_KB_, not MB. See: https://github.com/anseki/vscode-color#install

Please tell me what confused you, instead of closing the issue in silence. Your reaction made me confuse. Please. I think that of course you know that 293KB is lower than 12MB.
