VS Code CSS addition to increase readability on file tree.

Increases indentation on the file tree and adds some lines to each directory/file.

Works 15 levels deep, but you can expand it by just adding more of each line thats repeating, i.e.:

  • add another box shadow
    • (n*-20px) 0 0 0 rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.4)
  • add another padding-left
    • .monaco-tree-row[aria-level="n"] { padding-left: ((n-1)*20)px; }
  • add another :before & :after with left positioning
    • .monaco-tree-row[aria-level="n"]:before { left: (((n-1)*20)-9)px; }
    • .monaco-tree-row[aria-level="n"]:after { left: (((n-1)*20)-9)px; }

A bit messy but it works. If VSCode had some LESS/SASS stylesheets and/or functionality for user styles, this would be much nicer, but we've got to work with what we've got.

  • Find your VSCode install (mine was C:/Program Files/Microsoft VS Code, macOS should be /Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/out/vs/workbench/workbench.main.css)
  • Go to resources/app/out/vs/workbench
  • Open workbench.main.css
  • Add the following CSS:
.monaco-tree-row {
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
}
.monaco-tree-row:before {
content: '';
background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.4);
position: absolute;
width: 1px;
height: 100%;
}
.monaco-tree-row:after {
content: '';
background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.4);
position: absolute;
width: 14px;
height: 1px;
top: 50%;
}
.monaco-tree-row:not([aria-level="1"]):not([aria-level="2"]):before {
box-shadow: -20px 0 0 0 rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.4),
-40px 0 0 0 rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.4),
-60px 0 0 0 rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.4),
-80px 0 0 0 rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.4),
-100px 0 0 0 rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.4),
-120px 0 0 0 rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.4),
-140px 0 0 0 rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.4),
-160px 0 0 0 rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.4),
-180px 0 0 0 rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.4),
-200px 0 0 0 rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.4),
-220px 0 0 0 rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.4),
-240px 0 0 0 rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.4),
-260px 0 0 0 rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.4);
