Thank you @KonanTheLibrarian for creating this issue!
Is this the issue where you have to open a folder of code first before you can change any peacock settings because it writes the colours to a local file?
You're Welcome! Peacock is one of the most brilliant plugins for users who run both VSCODE and Windows in dark mode - can't see the edges of windows and with 10 VSCODE instances can't tell which one is which. Peacock solves it with nice colours and you don't have to be gxy to use it ;-) My bet is this developer will be able to fix this in 1 hour as the full features are failing to shift across and stick to all instances of VS CODE ... eg Docker VSCODE separate instances.
Work around from this guy willpower232 . Says that you have to press the Folder icon and then it will transfer peacock metadata to a file. Without the user choosing project folder, the metadata can't stick so colours can't be chosen yet. (But Colour should reside in memory - and wait for folders to exist). If you chose a base folder for the new project then F1 and typing "peacock" works. So the fix will be easy to implement using a temporary shared location that transfers settings once the user as finally "chosen the base folder for VSCODE in a new VSCODE project instance".
Versions:
Describe the bug Peacock with Ctrl+Shift+P and "peacock" shows only documentation. Annoying can't change colour.
Solution at a Guess This guy willpower232 . Says that you have to press the Folder icon and then it will transfer peacock metadata to a file. My take on this is without the user choosing project folder, the metadata can't stick so colours can't be chosen yet. (But Colour should reside in memory - and wait for folders to exist). So the fix will be easy to implement using a temporary location that transfers settings once the user as finally "chosen the base folder for VSCODE in a new VSCODE project instance". Obviously ask the user to chose a folder when they are choosing a colour!!!!
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Expected behavior Normally F1 gives peacock and the colour favourites.
