Colorful DarkPlus

Colorful DarkPlus is a Visual Studio Code theme extension based on the Dark+ default theme with brighter, more colorful accents. It now ships in two variants so you can choose the main UI color style while keeping the same tokenColors:

  • Colorful Dark+ (classic vibrant accents)
  • Colorful Dark+ Modern — modern UI palette while preserving the same code token colors

Maximum compatibility with:

  • Rust Analyzer + transparent InlayHints
  • Solidity
  • Motoko

Installation

  1. Open the Extensions sidebar in Visual Studio Code (Cmd+Shift+X).
  2. Search for Colorful DarkPlus and click Install.
  3. Select a theme: go to Code > Preferences > Color Theme and pick one of:
    • Colorful Dark+
    • Colorful Dark+ Modern

Notes for Tweakers

Both variants reuse the same token colors under the hood. If you want to create your own accent variant, add a new theme file that includes ./themes/dark_plus.json and override only the colors section.
