Please read the top of the description:

Important notice for Windows users

VSCode 1.86 and newer has known issues on Windows 10/11 due to Electron 27 introducing breaking changes to how transparent windows are handled. Your VSCode windows will not be snappable or maximizable if Vibrancy is applied on Windows, and you must also use "custom" for window.titleBarStyle setting. Some users have reported that AltSnap may be able to solve this issue. If this is undesired, please downgrade to VSCode 1.85.2, which can be downloaded using this URL: https://update.code.visualstudio.com/1.85.2/win32-x64-user/stable

"Your VSCode installation appears to be corrupt"

This extension works by editing VS Code's checksum-verified HTML files, which means that a warning prompt will appear after installing and enabling Vibrancy Continued. This warning is safe to disregard, and all changes can be reverted. Click on the cogwheel and select Don't Show Again to hide it.

I will amend the Windows notice with a warning that resizing might also stop working though, since this has been reported multiple times. You can either downgrade your VSCode version, or use the F1 menu action "Disable Vibrancy" to fully revert all changes.
