## Want active and inactive window borders?
Personally, I don't like active window borders, but if you'd like it, here are two examples.Open the Command Palette with Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+P (Mac) and select **Preferences: Open Settings (JSON)**.
_subtle_
```js
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
"window.activeBorder": "#4f5b66",
"window.inactiveBorder": "#1b2b34",
}
```
_full color_
```js
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
"window.activeBorder": "#5fb3b3",
"window.inactiveBorder": "#1b2b34",
}
```
### Suggested Extensions For Theme
* [Color Highlight](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=naumovs.color-highlight)
* [Subtle Match Brackets](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=rafamel.subtle-brackets)
### Suggested Terminal Settings
[ZSH](http://ohmyz.sh/) is a great shell and it adds support for git. I would suggest using the [Cobalt2 Theme](https://github.com/wesbos/Cobalt2-iterm) for ZSH. Make sure to get [Inconsolata for Powerline](https://github.com/powerline/fonts/blob/master/Inconsolata/Inconsolata%20for%20Powerline.otf) so that you can get all of the special characters in prompt.
