The Background extension for VSCode allows you to set a custom image as the editor's background, making it easy to personalize your coding environment. To install the extension, open the Extensions panel in VSCode, search for "Background" by Katsute, and click the Install button. Once installed, access the extension's configuration by pressing Ctrl+Shift+P and selecting "Background: Configuration". In the configuration panel, you can upload your chosen image, adjust its opacity, and set it as the background. After configuring the image, reload the editor by typing "Background: Reload" in the Command Palette. To get the most out of the extension, consider the opacity and resolution of your image, and pair it with a minimalist VSCode theme. In addition to the Background extension, other must-have extensions for fullstack developers include ESLint, Prettier, REST Client, GitLens, Docker, and Material Icon Theme. The NekoNight Deep Ocean theme is also recommended for its comfortable and focused design. When setting up your background, remember to adjust the opacity to avoid visual overload and use high-resolution images to avoid pixelation. With these tips and extensions, you can create a personalized and efficient coding environment in VSCode.
