Create another status bar item #96

Make status bar similar to embedded one, but this one is highlighted?

VSCode now supports 2 status bar background colors:

statusBarItem.errorBackground
statusBarItem.warningBackground

I like this new feature, thanks!

Some questions:

Is there a colored "info" button as well? Look at this extension for an example - it has three buttons
On my system they are not next to each other like in your image, is it possible to reorder? (like in that other extension)
Is it possible to change the foreground color instead of background color, so it's less visually noisy? (like in that other extension)
Is it possible to color the default buttons instead of introducing new ones?

There is no background color for info in status bar, so I didn't make a button for it
That's a bug. When testing I made a difference in priority between items to 1000, when it needs to be 1
It should be possible
With extension api - no. If you don't want to waste cpu cycles or something you can try Custom CSS and JS Loader

[id="status.problems"][aria-label*="Error"] .codicon-error {
    color: #dd4653 !important;
}
[id="status.problems"][aria-label*="Warning"] .codicon-warning {
    color: #ff7300 !important;
}
[id="status.problems"][aria-label*="Info"] .codicon-info {
    color: #33cfe4 !important;
}

Thanks this is a very nice addition!

I like the custom css idea, but class names change from version to version, and the custom css breaks! :smile: Maybe they'll introduce new api options someday to make all this possible.

Just for reference: these were introduced on the vscode side with 1.59: https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_59?ref=refind#_status-bar-warning-colors
