Improving the UI/UX of the Snyk VS Code extension

The Snyk VS Code extension underwent significant improvements to its user interface and user experience (UI/UX) as part of a larger effort to enhance the developer experience. The updates addressed various issues, including inconsistent layout, lack of naming consistency for security results, and limited adaptability to IDE themes. To achieve these changes, the team adopted a more structured approach to design, incorporating principles such as spacing and visual hierarchy, shared layout across different products, reducing custom code, and adhering to the VS Code design system. The final result aims to provide a seamless experience for improving code security posture, with a polished look and feel that reduces cognitive load and provides a familiar interface within the IDE.
