How I created a Cozy Workspace in VS Code

This title could be clearer and more informative.Try out Clickbait Shieldfor free (5 uses left this month).

A guide to creating a focused VS Code workspace by moving the sidebar to the right, positioning the Activity Bar at the top, centering Quick Input, hiding the Command Center, and enabling automatic theme switching based on daylight. The setup uses a dedicated Productivity profile to keep these customizations isolated, reducing UI clutter and maximizing editor space. Additional tweaks include improving cursor visibility and optionally adding VS Code Pets for a more enjoyable coding environment.
