Thanks a lot...

When I first saw your post about this extension I thought it was neat but I didn't think I would have much use for it, but after working on a project this weekend and fooling around with different vscode windows, it got me thinking and now I'm on board.

Thanks! No worries, several people have said this too :)

Some folks only use one instance ... while others use several.

Anyone else having the issue by chance? 😅

Wow! This is perfect, I can't wait to give it a shot. My last job was at an agency, and I'd use a different Code window for each client project, always getting them jumbled and confused. This would've been a big help.

Thanks!

One idea you could try is to create a "favorite" and save it for the different languages, the choose those for the projects.

I think what you are suggesting though is that when Peacock starts up it could try to determine the language if your project and choose a specific color for it. Feel free to add to the issues.

I thought this was a really neat extension when I installed it a couple of weeks ago, but then this week when I started using RemoteFS to connect to my different Linux boxes it became absolutely essential for keeping track of which server I'm connecting to. Thank you for this!

We all love our themes :)

Perhaps make some favorite colors with Peacock that compliment your theme?

Looks nice to me. Is it possible to colorize only left border of the activity pane instead of all the pane?

Very neat, I'll try this out. I also write articles in VSCode, do you use any extensions or external apps for things like grammar or structure?

I hope you like it.

I'm working on an extension to help with this. But I hit a few snags on getting APIs for grammar. I tweeted to grammarly about it but it appears they have no roadmap for an API.
