Summary

In this chapter, we have seen that extensions are a way in which we can extend the functionality of Visual Studio, always with the aim of improving our user experience and optimizing development time. We have tested a few extensions that have completely changed some of the IDE’s functionality, such as previewing colors in css files, changing tabs to icons, and creating themes for distribution.

Also, we have reviewed how to search for and install extensions, both from the extensions tool and Visual Studio Marketplace. We analyzed how extensions are regularly configured, and finally, we created a new custom theme that can be shared with others, thanks to the use of an extension.

In Chapter 14, Using Popular Extensions, we will delve even deeper into the topic of extensions, analyzing which ones are the most popular because of their usefulness in web development.
