As some one, who is back to no syntax highlighting at all, I would like the opposite. From distraction-free to papagei-mess.
I'm curious, why did you remove syntax highlight. I feel like I couldn't function properly if I didn't have my Dracula themed VS Code.
I kind of need the opposite, something that pokes me with a stick if I take a break before I'm supposed to.
I often leave the window while waiting for something to build, and that’s when I get distracted. Would be cool if leaving the window started a timer, and if I’m not back within five minutes it pops a notice on the screen.

Not bad but still intrusive. So idea is to let you continue for some time and not be intrusive and not change anything (OK, anything important at all). Suggestions like chaning fonts or graying the screen are just not that. Besides color, what else could be done ? Here is some brainstorming from me: 1. THe more you work, the slower are keys rendered, just as when computer slows down. This allows for some continuation…
Of course it's intrusive, as are your suggestions, as the whole concept is literally to intrude so you take a break. If you just want a suggestion to take a break try timed notifications.
That is not the point here tho. The point was to reinvent it with something more subtle :)

Of course I can use timed notifications. There is also snooze for continuation. That is not the point here tho. The point was to reinvent it with something more subtle :)

To "stay healthy" obviously, as by not doing that you may need to interrupt forevever.
You don't often get sprints where you are typing consistently, those are usually your most valuable "zoned-in" sessions. I don't see why you would interrupt that, it takes awhile to get zoned back in. Go walk around after you have a good session. This seems really annoying.

Random beeps and mouse movement are less intrusive?!
To me the most intrusive thing is to change things in my environment. Font size for example will change how lines wrap and scroll position. The color will mess with syntax highlighting. Etc.
Something not intrusive will not change my editor but something not important for that type of work. It doesn't mean its not distracting, it should be for this kind of thing.
Mouse movements are defenitelly intrusive in classic IDE, I don't use mouse in vscode.
