🎉 Optional Glow Effect
Want to take things up a notch with a glowing, futuristic look? Follow these steps:
Install the Custom CSS and JS Loader extension.
Add this to your settings.json
:
{
"vscode_custom_css.imports": [
"file://FULL/PATH/lights-on.css"
]
}
Replace FULL/PATH
with the actual location of the CSS file, for example:
- Windows:
file:///C:/Users/username/.vscode/extensions/theplumup/lights-on.css
- Mac/Linux:
file:///home/username/.vscode/extensions/theplumup/lights-on.css
Open the command palette (Ctrl + Shift + P
or Shift + ⌘ + P
) and select Reload Custom CSS and JS.
Note: The glow effect is cool but not ideal for long coding sessions. Take care of those eyes!
