More "Atom-like" Explosions -- Help Needed

See original GitHub issue

Question:

via https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/852#issuecomment-311708869

Can’t we have exactly the same experience as we’re used to in Atom, without the damn 🎆 . 😞

Combo Counter Answer:

Not exactly. The Atom extension creates a canvas that it writes particle animations to. VS Code doesn’t expose DOM access so I can’t do that.

What I can do is replace the “firework” explosions with “particle” explosions if somebody has an appropriate gif with transparent background.

I didn’t find any that looked good, so I went with the best I could find.

If you find explosions you’d like to use instead of these ones, you can do that using this setting:

"powermode.customExplosions": [ "<explosion url>",  "<explosion url>",  "<explosion url>" ]

The combo counter is a similar story. I made some attempts to absolutely position some decorations on the screen but was unsuccessful. They would appear and disappear as you scrolled the first or last line off the screen. I may revisit this in the future.
