Nameplate is a VS Code extension that displays the project name and assigns a unique status bar color to each window, helping developers distinguish between multiple open projects. It intelligently derives names from various configuration files and ensures colors are consistent per repository and kept out of version control.

Target audience: developers using multiple VS Code windows

Repository: https://rowhitswami.github.io/nameplate/ · TypeScript · MIT
