<ul dir="auto">
<li>VSCode Version: 1.1.1</li>
<li>OS Version: 10</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">Steps to Reproduce:</p>
<ol dir="auto">
<li>Install VS Code.</li>
<li>Install one or more extensions.</li>
<li>Notice that there is a <code class="notranslate">.vscode</code> folder in your user directory.</li>
</ol>
<p dir="auto">In Windows, the root of the user directory is <em>NOT</em> the right place to store application settings.  This is a very common convention in Linux but Windows != Linux and not all Windows users want to pretend they are running Linux.  In windows the correct location for application settings is <code class="notranslate">%APPDATA%</code> and the correct location for extensions is <code class="notranslate">%LOCALAPPDATA%</code> or <code class="notranslate">%PROGRAMDATA%</code> (depending on level of security consciousness).</p>
<p dir="auto">To avoid a flame war, I want to be clear that this issue isn't debating <em>why</em> <code class="notranslate">C:/Users/&lt;username&gt;/.&lt;appname&gt;</code> is the wrong place for these files, it is only asserting that Microsoft has very clearly documented the <em>right</em> place for settings files and VSCode does not follow it.  If the authors of VSCode have consciously decided to go against the long-running convention established by the OS authors then I won't press on the issue (though I think that would be a silly decision for VSCode).  I am submitting this issue under the assumption that the authors didn't realize there was an established convention (very common in open source projects) and did what was familiar to them.</p>

<p dir="auto">The fonts are rendered with blur.<br>

<p dir="auto">If I pressed "Ctrl+Home" to "reset" the rendering, then use mouse to scroll to that line, the fonts are clear and sharp.<br>

<p dir="auto">It seems the <strong>height</strong> of blurred font is <strong>16px</strong>, and the "normal" font is <strong>15px</strong>.</p>
<p dir="auto">Because the monitor in my company is 22" 1920*1080, the default font size of VSCode is too small. Though we can modify the "editor.fontSize" setting, but the font-size of side bar will still be very small, so I think zoom in once is the most comfortable way to make text easy to read...if without this issue.</p>
