VSCode Minimalist Theme

A bunch of minimalist dark theme for VSCode. Mostly based on the Dark Modern theme, but with a few tweaks:

  • No drop shadows: menus and popups have no drop shadows.
  • Consistent color palette. For example:
    • The Activity Bar active indicator is white.
    • Active tab and editor have the same background color.
