Cursor IDE
Having multiple windows of the IDE open to the same codebase but different worktrees makes it difficult to tell at a glance which one I’m in. I would like to have some sort of quick color, etc. indicator that the window is a worktree.
Hey Reid, thanks for writing this up. You’re right that there isn’t a built-in color or badge today that marks a window as a worktree, so several windows on the same repo can look identical at a glance.
Two workarounds that help in the meantime:
window.title and set it to something like: "${activeRepositoryBranchName}${separator}${rootName}${separator}${activeEditorShort}"
The status bar also shows the current branch, which is useful if you keep that visible.
workbench.colorCustomizations), for example titleBar.activeBackground. Keep that as a local workspace setting so it stays on that checkout. Some people also use the Peacock extension for the same idea.It’s a little clunky, but this is a good start before we build a feature like the one that you’re describing.
