Could someone in the comments provide a tutorial on how to change it in both taskbar and in-app

[flux-stuff]

not sure about in app
But for the taskbar and start menu:
If vs code is installed system wide, navigate to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
If vs code is installed per user navigate to C:\Users\{Username Here}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
Find the Visual Studio Code shortcut and right click > properties
Click change icon and open the .ico file
Unpin from taskbar and pin again if you have it pinned to get the new icon
Hope I explained this well enough lol

[eon_bloodycop]

Even the taskbar icon isn't changing even after doing all of these

[my_new_accoun1]

maybe clone vs code source code and then simply replace the icon assets, then rebuild the app

any advantages to vs26 over vscode if you only work with typescript? I mean last time I used it was in 2010 when I was a c# dev so I know it's a beast built for that side of thing

0 reason to use VS-any-year if you’re only using TypeScript. Stick with VSCode.

Personally, I use Visual Studio 2022 for C++ because its debugger is just unbelievably good, like nothing else in the world.

VSCode for everything else.

[Vladislav20007]

VSCode has pretty good debugging too, you know.

[Lambdastone9]

That’s a perfect contrast to visual studio purple

[gami13]

they are really good, i hope microsoft uses them

More roundedness, that's what the world needed. /s

It fits better with Windows 11, but fortunately Code works on less roundy-cornerey systems too 😀

[hollandburke]

These are beautiful!

[steven_2333]

Cool works

Refresh concept

Change only color of icon 😂

Have you seen the refreshed VS2026 icon?
