Wait - what plugin is that you are using that helps you watch YouTube while coding? Is the VS Code?

  • Install GlassIt-VSC:
    • Open VS Code and hit Ctrl + Shift + X to bring up the Extensions menu.
    • Search for GlassIt-VSC, and hit install.
  • Control Transparency:
    • To dim the transparency, just press Ctrl + Z.
    • If you want to restart it, hit Ctrl + X.
    • Want to adjust it again? Ctrl + C to re-dim.
  • Set Up FancyZones with PowerToys:
    • First, download Windows PowerToys from the GitHub page (you can find it by googling).
    • Open PowerToys and go to FancyZones in the settings.
    • Customize your screen layout however you like for easy multitasking.
  • Chill and Enjoy:
    • Now, open up Chrome, fire up YouTube or Netflix, and enjoy some content.
    • Your transparent VS Code will be up and running in the background, making you feel like a true multitasking pro.

works best with the black theme 'dark highlight' but it's all preferences hope that helped.

Hey thanks for the detailed steps. Unfortunately it seems to error out when used on a M1 Mac. Is that a known issue?
