Describe the Issue

I was going through the tutorial located here (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/create-aspire-applications/exercise-create-new-aspire-application?tabs=visual-studio) but trying to recreate it with VS Code. I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to create the template to use redis for caching. I apparently flew by the entry point to customize the template 15+ times.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. New project
  2. .NET Aspire Starter project
  3. Go through the creation process and get to the step to configure template options

Expected Behavior

After being told by someone else where this option was, I was shocked to learn it was there. I have flown by that option over and over and over again and never saw it. I work in dark mode and had code in the background as well most of the time and since the first item is highlighted blue and the drop down only has 2 options, it was super difficult to notice. I'd hope we can make this list more discoverable in some way.

I have some more long-term ideas worth testing here but @timheuer has some quick fixes that would improve it to begin with.

Proposals:
Pro: visible space drawing attention
Con: Would we consistently change all other QP items to two-line

Thank you @timheuer for whipping these up so quickly! I personally like the first, has that additional vertical space that makes it harder to miss.
