VSCode - Source Control Coloring

Question

So by default if a change is made, VSCode Source Control sets a blue marker on the file and all directories that contain the changes.

And it also colors the names, which for me in some situations, seems a bit distracting in bigger applications.

Is there a way to customize this, so the Folder and File names do not change color and only the small Markers on the right remain ?

If you use the "explorer.decorations.colors" setting, you can turn off all colors on the text, while still maintaining the "Modified" indicator. This turns off all coloring, but I think really the only coloring I've seen so far comes from Git tracking changes, and if problems are detected in files - those are probably the most common forms of coloring at least.

For example, with "explorer.decorations.colors" set to false,:

You can also set "git.decorations.enabled" to false, but you will lose the indicator as well.
