How to change typesetting engine to XeLatex?

This is the error I get. How can I fix it? I use vscode and I've tried changing the setting.json of it.

Package: fontspec 2024/02/13 v2.9a Font selection for XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX

(fontspec)                      e.g., "xelatex" or "lualatex" instead of

Which version of ManimGL are you using?

If before commit d48957c3 (2022/09/13 19:42 UTC), please add these to custom_config.yml (recommended, in the directory where you run manimgl) or default_config.yml (in the directory where you installed ManimGL):

tex:
  executable: xelatex -no-pdf

(notice that if tex is already in the .yml file, you only need to put executable: xelatex -no-pdf after it)
that changes the LaTeX compiler to XeLaTeX.

If after:

style:
  tex_template: ctex

that changes the LaTeX compiler to XeLaTeX and the template to ctex.

Plus, if CJK (Chinese / Japanese / Korean) characters are needed in Tex or TexText, you MUST change the compiler to XeLaTeX and template to ctex. Before commit d48957c3, you can add these to custom_config.yml:
此外，如果你需要在 Tex 或 TexText 中输入中日韩文字，就必须把 LaTeX 编译器改为 XeLaTeX 并把模板改为 ctex。d48957c3 前，你还得在 custom_config.yml 中加入以下内容：

tex:
  text_to_replace: [tex_expression]
  executable: xelatex -no-pdf
  template_file: ctex_template.tex
  intermediate_filetype: xdv
