How to get rid of this golden yellow color on files and directory

[aaravmer]

It is colored when there are unused imports, unused variables or any other warning in file. I don't want them to get colored.

I tried putting "problems.decorations.enabled": false but it disabled red coloring of file which had errors, which I do not want to disable.

Have a look at https://github.com/eclipse-jdtls/eclipse.jdt.ls/wiki/Language-Server-Settings-&-Capabilities#java-compiler-options .There are a list of various compiler options (including various types of issues that can be set to error/warning/info/ignore. From what you've mentioned, you would want to set at least the following :

.vscode/settings.json

{
  "java.settings.url": ".vscode/settings.prefs",
}

.vscode/settings.prefs

org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.unusedImport=ignore
org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.unusedLocal=ignore

There might be more to disable.

On the other hand if you just want to outright ignore all errors/warnings on a file, we have :

"java.diagnostic.filter": [ "**/Foo.java" ] which would ignore all errors/warning on any source file named Foo.java. See https://github.com/redhat-developer/vscode-java?tab=readme-ov-file#supported-vs-code-settings for more info on the various settings.
