Change visual code theme
Writing code in visual studio code is fun and an amazing experience. Default visual studio code “Theme” is great. However, we want to use the theme from different IDEs; since we love visual studio code a lot and theme from different IDE. For example, Atom is a great tool and cross platform developers love Atom a lot. Wouldn’t it be nice, if we can use the same Atom theme in Visual Studio Code? Let’s see, how we can set color theme in visual studio code.
Below is the visual studio code default theme.
Let’s say, we would like to change the default Visual Studio Code with Atom theme. We love Atom IDE so much. :-)
Go to File -> Preferences -> Color Theme or ctrl+k — ctrl+T.
You will be shown a dropdown with a list of available themes.Let’s choose, “Atom One Dark” (this theme has been installed from the extensions) from the list and now you see your both the worlds together with visual studio code and atom.
There are other themes, should you choose to use.
So far so good. You are not limited to the available themes in visual studio code and you can actually install additional themes by selecting “Install Additional Color Themes”.
“Install Additional Color Themes” will open extensions that you can choose to download and this will be available under the available themes later.
This is great. Isn’t it? Having the same theme for quite a long time is monotonous and visual studio code gives Color Themes facility to get rid of this monotonous experience. Happy coding :-).
Tip: You can choose to uninstall your installed theme any time.
