Visual Studio Code stops making color pickers after 495th color picker

After making 495 <div>'s with a background-color, Visual Studio Code doesn't give me anymore color pickers.

Is there a color picker limit? Does Big Color Picker deny us from getting too many color pickers?

I would have expected it to make more color pickers.

Solution

  • Yes, there is a hardcoded limit of 500 color pickers to prevent performance issues when opening a file containing a large number of colors.

    This can be overwritten using the following user-setting:

    {
    // Controls the max number of color decorators that can be rendered in an editor at once.
    "editor.colorDecoratorsLimit": 999
}

    The default of 500 can be found on Visual Studio Code's Default settings page.
