Atelier Themes for VS Code

Atelier Schemes are ten colorschemes which by now are implemented in many applications using templates which can work with the Base16-Builder CLI tool¹. For VS Code both the dark and light templates were created from scratch, making each theme come in a light and dark background variation. Time and effort was spend to make different markup and programming languages become more readable with these themes in Visual Studio Code. Read more about Atelier Schemes.

Tweaks

Some additional tweaks can be made using the VSCode Custom CSS extension. This requires to have a CSS file on your computer that will hold your custom CSS. An example of some small tweaks I made are in the repo: atelier-vscode-custom-css.css, so one can tweak those as well. Small things like the background color for the Panel title (down at the page, when activated - above the statusbar), and monochrome icons ISO colored ones, to make those icons less distracting.

Once done, open your command palette and select: enable custom CSS and JS

Run the command Reload Custom CSS and JS and the Custom CSS should be taking effect.

Note: Reloading custom CSS and JS after every VSCode update is a must!
