Customization

If you are using VSCode 1.12+ versions you can customize the colors to your liking, overriding the ones provided by this theme. More info here.

Custom Font

The original Evans dark theme does not use a custom font, for that reason I don't supply a custom font either, but you might be used to see screenshots of the Evans Dark theme using the Caskaydia Cove font. You can easily customize your settings to use it.
If you download and install the font in your system, you can add this option to have a custom font:

{
  "editor.fontFamily": "YOUR FONT, Menlo, Monaco, 'Courier New', monospace"
  // Caskaydia Cove font is recommended.
}
