Answer 1

For the people who are looking for a new solution: In the latest version of VSCode, you can add

"window.titleBarStyle": "custom"

to your settings.json file and it should use your vscode theme for the border/titlebar

Answer 2

The GTK Dark Title Bar could be the solution to your problems.

I also want to leave some more references to the various issues opened on the official vscode repo in the past years about this problem so that you can give a reading and get an idea of what happened.

• #16363 - Allow to change the background color of menu bar (Windows & some Linux)
• #11979 - Support dark theme in Gnome
• #30031 - Add a way to choose theme variant (Gnome dark/light theme)
• #45968 - Set the _GTK_THEME_VARIANT X11 property on top-level window to use "dark" theme on Gnome
