Design exploration for improving experience for new users
## Overview This design exploration aims to improve the overall experience for new users while also providing value for existing users. Going through feedback from new and existing users we've heard that: - Activity bar icons can sometimes be hard to understand if not familiar with them - Some features (like the command palette and terminal) are hard to discover - Desire to control overall density We also wanted to take the opportunity to explore updating the overall aesthetics like: - Create uniform sizing/padding (using multiples of 4) - Update default color system - Alternate placement of account/settings ## Demo Below is an example of this exploration. Here's a few ideas that we tried: - Adding labels to the activity bar - Moving account/settings to the top right - Introducing an omni search to include commands, files, tasks, etc. (also combining text search into this) - Introducing a "density" toggle (similar to email clients) - Introducing a Terminal toggle in the status bar - Introducing GUI features for Git - Condensed color system into ~10 colors  https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/35271042/106675880-c02c4e80-656a-11eb-8f5f-ead5e96300ba.mp4 ## Feedback Here's the feedback I've received on this concept from our team. I'll break down the concepts into individual issue for those we are interested in pursuing more. Note: since this c

I hate that this is how AI is being used..
