VSCode - Change the background color of active item in explorer-CodePudding

I wanted to change the background color of the selected file in explorer in VS code and I found this setting list.activeSelectionBackground which you can see in the picture actually worked.

But the problem is that it only works when I click on the file explicitly but it doesn't when I switch to a different file using Alt tab, then it looses the background color even when actually the file is selected in explorer.

After Alt tab it starts showing the selection background like this, which is the default way

I tried some other settings like list.inactiveFocusBackground and list.focusBackground but they didn't work.

Any idea?

CodePudding user response：

It looks like you want

"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
  "list.inactiveSelectionBackground": "#fff",
  "list.activeSelectionBackground": "#fff"
}

Just set them to the same thing so whether that Explorer item selection is active or not it will appear the same.
