Description

Type: Bug

The new UI introduced in VS Code 1.133.0 adds excessive corner rounding and padding throughout the interface. This reduces information density and makes the UI feel unnecessarily bulky, especially on smaller screens.

Please provide an option to disable the new rounded/padded styling and restore the previous, more compact UI.

VS Code version: Code 1.133.0
OS version: Windows
