🌌 Midnight Lights is an original dark blue theme for Visual Studio 2019 and 2022. If you're looking for something even darker, try my new theme ⚫ Midnight Deep.

Installation
After installing the extension, the theme will be available in the dropdown under Tools -> Options-> General.
This is my first theme and you will probably find some quirks. This is a personal project, feel free to fork the repository and tweak it however you like.
Misc
CI/CD uses Azure DevOps, following Meziantou's Blog.
I like to extend my theme with Viasfora, mostly for Rainbow Braces. I've added my Viasfora theme within the github repo as viasfora-theme.json
. If you're a Viasfora user, themes can be exported/imported from Tools -> Options -> Viasfora -> Export / Import. The section Themes takes .json
and .vsftheme
files.
