Visual Studio interactive window unreadable highlighted error

Viewed 170

Recently, Visual Studio started highlighting errors in the interactive window, which makes them unreadable:

Error highlighted

How can I remove or change the highlight color? I looked around SO but can't find any of the settings mentioned (e.g. this).

I am using the standard VS dark theme. Other dark themes didn't solve the issue

  • start the Developer tools: Help > Toggle Developer Tools
  • use the top left button and locate the text in the interactive window
  • in the elements tab you can see which terminal colors it uses
  • customize that terminal color for that particular workbench color in your settings.json
  • you can limit that change for a particular theme

I'm not using VSC 1.63 at the moment, so I can't give you the specific name.

Following rioV8's instructions, I added the following to my settings.json:

"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
    "terminal.ansiYellow": "#1e1e1e"
}

Replaces the awful yellow with the same background color as the interactive window in the default dark mode. Works for VSCode v1.63.2.

you can install python indent for highlighting your code this plugin is standard you can past this extension kevinrose.vsc-python-indentand dark theme for vscode dhedgecock.radical-vscode in search bar in VScode this extension use for python and vscode.
