## What it is
A Visual Studio Code extension that injects custom CSS and JavaScript into the editor's workbench by modifying VS Code's installation files. It lets users restyle and script the editor UI beyond what standard theming APIs allow.

## Use cases
- customize vscode ui with custom css
- inject custom javascript into vscode
- restyle visual studio code interface
- apply custom theme styles to vscode workbench
- modify vscode appearance beyond settings

## When to choose
- you want deep visual customization of VS Code that themes can't achieve
- you need to tweak the workbench with your own CSS or JS

## When to avoid
- you only want standard color themes or icon packs
- you can't or won't modify VS Code installation files or re-apply after updates
- you're worried about the 'corrupted installation' warning
