How to remove new search-bar from window title in visual studio code?

Question

• VSCode version: 1.81.0
• macOS Version: Ventura 13.2.1
• Theme used: Material Theme

This used to be just text without the arrow icons; How can I get the old visuals and behavior back? I will never click on this to activate the same window as with CMD+P

Answer 1

Right click on the search bar and disable "Command Center". That will return the old view.

Alternatively, go to File -> Preferences -> Settings -> Window and disable Command Center there. The key is window.commandCenter if you need it for a settings.json file.
