Research direction
Start by locating the VS Code extension code that renders the rainbow effect and reviewing how extension settings are defined. Add a user setting that disables the effect, then verify that the effect is absent and GPU usage is no longer incurred when the setting is enabled.

Issue Description
This feature is using 32% of the GPU just for this colorful effect
Before opening this issue, I looked for the function to disable the rainbow effect, but I couldn't find it.
Expected Content
I propose adding an option to disable it in the extension settings.
