❗❗❗IMPORTANT❗❗❗

To get the full Go-Dark experience with expected colouring please follow these steps.

  1. in your project root create a folder called .vscode

  2. inside the .vscode folder create a file called settings.json

  3. add the following snippet to settings.json

{
  "editor.semanticHighlighting.enabled": true,
  "gopls": {
    "ui.semanticTokens": true
  },
  "editor.semanticTokenColorCustomizations": {
    "enabled": true
  }
}
