Uh hello guys, welcome to this video. So
0:02
in this video, I'll show you how to
0:03
disable activity bar or enable it. How
0:06
to toggle the visibility of activity bar
0:08
in VS code. Activity bar is nothing but
0:11
this is the left hand side section of
0:13
the screen. If you don't want this
0:15
activity bar, you can disable it very
0:18
simply. Uh so first of all you can go to
0:21
the view option and then inside your
0:25
appearance and here you will see this
0:27
activity bar position you will see by
0:31
default it is set to default position
0:33
but there is also this hidden option as
0:35
well. You can change the position go to
0:38
view appearance and then this activity
0:40
bar you can change this position to top
0:42
position. So now it appears at top. You
0:45
can even right click this activity bar
0:48
and this position will again come right
0:50
here. You can go switch this to bottom
0:53
position right here or you can hide it.
0:57
So if I want just want to hide this now
0:59
the activity bar is completely hidden.
1:01
It is not visible at all. So once again
1:03
if you want to enable it simply go to
1:05
the view menu appearance and then
1:08
activity bar and simply select the
1:10
default position. So once again it will
1:12
be back. So majority of the time you do
1:15
need the activity bar. So it is just uh
1:18
according to the preference. If you do
1:20
like activity bar you can enable it. If
1:23
you don't like it you can just select
1:26
the hidden option to disable it.
