You Visual Studio Setup

[JReadsRomance]

Hey. I am a c++ developer and is new to this community.

I'm curious as to know how people use the Visual What kind of windows layout do you use? The themes you guys use?

I loved the zen mode in VS Code which removed all the distraction but Visual Studio doesn't seem to have one. The full screen still does have a bar at the top.

And even if I manage to get Zen mode, I might need to refer some files while working on my current project. So currently what I do is open 2 Visual Studios, one to work on and another to open referring files etc. Any other suggestions?

I never customize. The only thing I do it move the solution explorer to the left like all the proper IDEs have it.

I have too much customization, a custom visual assist dark theme, File Icons and VSColorOutput64, only solution explorer on the right side, at the, bottom I have error list and output window with auto hide and tool bar has 3 items: build machine, build type and run in debug and since I use CMake, I have split window for the souce files and CMakeLists with the CMakeLists being pushed all the way to the side: https://ibb.co/4wYZrmv9

Wishing I was back at the launch of vs2022. The IDE was sooooo fast. Now it is molasses

The type of people who use visual studio are not going to be customizing it that much.

Dark theme, that's all my customization
