8bitCave Theme

A retro-inspired VS Code theme that brings the nostalgic charm of 8-bit aesthetics to your modern development environment.

Recommended Settings

To fully embrace the retro aesthetic of the 8bitCave Theme, we recommend using the following font settings in your VS Code settings.json:

{
  "editor.fontFamily": "'Press Start 2P', 'Fira Code', Consolas, 'Courier New', monospace",
  "editor.fontSize": 15,
  "terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "'Press Start 2P', 'Fira Code', Consolas, 'Courier New', monospace",
  "terminal.integrated.fontSize": 15
}

These settings combine the pixelated look of 'Press Start 2P' with the readability and ligatures of 'Fira Code'. You can, of course, use any font you prefer.

Below is a screenshot showing an example of these recommended settings in action:
