I've been following this tutorial by Coder Coder to make my vscode look better (tutorial link https://youtu.be/pGzssFNtWXw). As per the video I've opened the settings.json file and just wrote some code But when I try to change the color of the icons in the activity bar, nothing happens, here is the line of code I tried to use to change the color:"activityBarBadge.foreground": "#000000" this does not work though

Here is the code:

"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
        "editor.background": "#000814",
        "sideBar.background": "#000d20",
        "sideBarTitle.foreground": "#ffd60a",
        "sideBarSectionHeader.foreground": "#ffd60a",
        "activityBar.activeBackground": "#ffea81d5",
        "activityBar.background": "#22223b",
        "statusBar.background": "#ffd60a",
    }

Here is the result I got:

To change the Activity Bar icon colors use these two colorCustomizations:

"activityBar.inactiveForeground"

"activityBar.foreground" // for the active icon
