I want to remove 'Open folder' button and change text 'You have not yet added a folder to the workspace.' to You have not yet added a project to the workspace.

After removing a folder from the workspace, we are naming it as a project instead of a folder and handling our own project logic. We have already overridden the labels and actions of the context menu. Can we remove the button in the same way by overriding it? and same for label. it is coming from node_modules\@Theia\navigator\src\browser\navigator-widget.tsx

protected renderEmptyMultiRootWorkspace(): React.ReactNode {
return

{nls.localizeByDefault('You have not yet added a folder to the workspace.\n{0}', '')}

<button className='theia-button open-workspace-button' title={nls.localizeByDefault('Add Folder to Workspace')}
onClick={this.addFolder}
onKeyUp={this.keyUpHandler}>
{nls.localizeByDefault('Open Folder')}

;
}
can we override and manage this?

Hey @sumit140792,

you can use the TextReplacementContribution API to accomplish this.

To remove the button, you will probably need to override the NavigatorWidget class and the respective method that you've already pointed out.
