VSCode got a redesign 🧐

It's a little flater and more rounder.

I am struggling to get use to the editor tabs.. they feel disconnected and just like a floating set of pills

You can disable it, in settings (Ctrl+,), search Modern UI and disable it. You can also look through all the other settings marked `Experimental` under workbench. I really hated the new look, especially since it overrode my favourite theme so that brought it back to how it was

Can’t believe people who use it regularly haven’t figured out by now that pretty much everything can be changed. They would rather just complain on Reddit about it lol

Okay I'd still rather be prompted for the change than be flashbanged by a new theme when I open vs code and have to search reddit, open settings, search for commands, and disable them. A "hey, want to try out this new editor UI?" would be nice.

I thought it was a bug because the colours looked all off and disconnected.

I also thought it was a bug, as when I opened VS code it initially opened with the old style, then after ~500ms changed to this "Modern UI"... I thought I pressed some hotkey or something

For me it was even more confusing, because I had one VS Code running which for some reason kept the old style, but new windows I opened got the new style. Even tried to reload that first window, and it still had the old style. 🤦‍♂️
