Description

[Feature Request] Set background color for generic windows.

[Suggestions] window.bgColor, settings.bgColor, extensions.bgColor

[Reason] I love my background color and all, but it only goes well with code.. Because I'm extremely used to a certain color set, but I'd rather separate code and information.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how VS Code theme colors are defined and applied for webview editors. Look at the existing theme color keys (e.g., 'settingsEditor.background') and propose new keys for settings and extensions views. Understand the theming system in the VS Code workbench and how to add new color tokens.
