Hello everyone! I would like to suggest that VSCode have a theme that follows the Windows 11 theme, including the Mica effect on the top menu bar and status bar, as it does in Microsoft Edge.

Wow that is complicated! I need a tool for CMake.

I spent over 20 years developing in C++ daily before escaping. For those still trapped, I wish you well.

How to compile a single cpp file? Many times there is an error that file cannot be compiled.

[@koraironams4656]

😂😂

Hey! This could be due to the compiler you are trying to use. If you are trying to compile a C++ file, make sure you are using a g++ compiler or its equivalent.
