As of September 2022 update, Customize UI changes undone on VS Code restart

[emilyst]

I am still working on confirming that this is a problem with Customize UI or what might have changed, but from several tests, it seems as if restarting VS Code undoes any changes from Customize UI. (Is this a Monkey Patch problem?)

If anyone can reproduce this, please reply? Thanks.

Through more testing, I have confirmed this issue does not occur on VS Code version 1.71.2. Upgrading again causes the issue again. (No extensions were changed during this test.)

I have been reading through the September 2022 milestone but cannot yet find a commit which would cause this new behavior.

Same here! My Title bar styling broke as soon as I opened VS Code. I downgraded both Customize UI and Monkey Patch to privious versions, but this did not work. So I'm assuming VS Code 1.72.0 broke either Monkey Patch or Customize UI.

Thanks to previous reporters for opening this issue.

Here are my current workaround for reference:
Found that UI customizations losing effects? Fine, just touch a little in your

    "customizeUI.stylesheet": {
	...
    },

settings (if you don't have any yet, just write some dumb CSS there), and save settings.json, and reload the window as prompted. Voilà, UI customizations are there again.

But there is one thing I cannot make working: inline titlebar of macOS.
Hopefully this extension can be fixed soon!

Can you retry with monkey-patch 0.1.22?

Can you retry with monkey-patch 0.1.22?

This fixes it!!! Thank you so much. VSCode is so fugly without CustomizeUI. ❤️

I'm still having issues even with monkey-patch updated to 0.1.22. I've tried stuff like changing the stylesheet slightly, as well as enabling and disabling monkey-patch. Customize UI is on 0.1.65

Any help would be appreciated!

@hk21702, I think the problem in your case might be that you're running vscode on Windows. There might be a path separator issue with the patch that I didn't realize. I'll try to reproduce the problem.

Confirming this newest version of Monkey Patch fixes the issue for me. Thanks a lot for that.

The cause is probably due to one of these numerous changes to make instantiation of the editor more "lazy." I wonder if Microsoft should implement certain kinds of "hooks" for extensions to use at startup time, assuming they haven't already.

Still broken for me on Windows with version 0.1.22 of monkeypatch installed

[sean-codes]

On windows I did a fresh install of VS Code with only Customize UI and it did not work with latest monkeypatch

[GJRobert]

Monkey Patch v0.1.22 fixes this issue. Great to see that inline titlebar again!!! Thank you so much @knopp !

I really don't like to do +1 comments however, I'm pretty sure -including me- Windows is not fixed. All "fixes" mentioned here seems to be either OSX or Linux.

UPDATE:

v0.1.23 solved issues on Windows. Thanks :) 🥳

v0.1.23 just fixed everything for me on Windows..Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
