Visual Studio-Code Solutions
Solution 1 - Visual Studio-Code
You can have a different theme per workspace/folder by adjusting the workbench.colorTheme in the workspace settings.
- Open a new VSCode window.
- Open the project folder where you would like to have a different color theme.
- Navigate to File > Preferences > Settings.
- Select the "Workspace Settings" tab at the top of the settings screen. Anything you edit in here will now be specific to this workspace.
- Search for "colorTheme" and select the color theme you would like for this specific workspace.
Now, whenever you reopen that folder, the color theme will match what you set in the workspace settings.
Solution 2 - Visual Studio-Code
Check out the Window Colors extension which: > Automatically adds a unique color to each window's activityBar and titleBar.

Solution 5 - Visual Studio-Code
found a way that works for me: install the VS Code Insiders as 2nd app of VS Code at https://code.visualstudio.com/insiders/
btw, setup the cmd codeinsiders in Macos, like:
ln -s "/Applications/Visual Studio Code - Insiders.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin/code" /usr/local/bin/codeinsiders
