A Visual Studio Code theme that combines the best of both worlds - the familiar color scheme from Xcode Default Dark and the elegant UI elements from Charmmono Theme.
IDX Xcode - Vanilla Merge
IDX Xcode - Improved
About
As a developer who has spent considerable time with Xcode's default dark theme, switching to a different color scheme has always been a challenge. This theme was born out of the desire to maintain the familiar and comfortable syntax highlighting from Xcode while incorporating the beautiful UI elements from the Charmmono Theme.
Why This Theme?
After trying numerous VS Code themes, I found myself constantly returning to Xcode's default dark theme due to its familiarity and clarity. However, I wanted to enhance the overall VS Code experience with better UI elements. This theme combines the best of both worlds:
Xcode's syntax highlighting that I've grown accustomed to
Charmmono's sleek UI elements that make VS Code look and feel more polished
Installation
