cheetah's iconic Deep Dark theme, and one of the most installed [themes] for VS Code!

Tweaks & theming

If you want to play around with new colors, use the setting workbench.colorCustomizations to customize the currently selected theme. For example, you can add this snippet in your "settings.json" file:

"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
  "tab.activeBackground": "#282c34",
  "activityBar.background": "#282c34",
  "sideBar.background": "#282c34",
  "tab.activeBorder": "#d19a66",
}

or use the setting editor.tokenColorCustomizations

"editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
  "[Deep Dark Pro]": {
    "textMateRules": [
      {
        "scope": ["source.python"],
        "settings": {
          "foreground": "#e06c75"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

Italic

You could set this in your setting.json to make code be italic

"editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
    "textMateRules": [
      {
        "name": "italic font",
        "scope": [
          "comment",
          "keyword",
          "storage",
          "keyword.control",
          "keyword.control.from",
          "keyword.control.flow",
          "keyword.operator.new",
          "keyword.control.import",
          "keyword.control.export",
          "keyword.control.default",
          "keyword.control.trycatch",
          "keyword.control.conditional",
          "storage.type",
          "storage.type.class",
          "storage.modifier.tsx",
          "storage.type.function",
          "storage.modifier.async",
          "variable.language",
          "variable.language.this",
          "variable.language.super",
          "meta.class",
          "meta.var.expr",
          "constant.language.null",
          "support.type.primitive",
          "entity.name.method.js",
          "entity.other.attribute-name",
          "punctuation.definition.comment",
          "text.html.basic entity.other.attribute-name",
          "tag.decorator.js entity.name.tag.js",
          "tag.decorator.js punctuation.definition.tag.js",
          "source.js constant.other.object.key.js string.unquoted.label.js",
        ],
        "settings": {
          "fontStyle": "italic",
        }
      },
    ]
  }

Example of customizing semantic colors in settings.json:

{
    "editor.semanticTokenColorCustomizations": {
        "[Deep Dark Pro]": {
            // Apply to this theme only
            "enabled": true,
            "rules": {
                "magicFunction:python": "#ee0000",
                "function.declaration:python": "#990000",
                "*.decorator:python": "#0000dd",
                "*.typeHint:python": "#5500aa",
                "*.typeHintComment:python": "#aaaaaa",
                "parameter:python": "#aaaaaa"
            }
        }
    }
