🚀 Quick Start

Change the UI Font

   • Windows/Linux: Ctrl + Shift + P
   • macOS: ⌘ + Shift + P

3. Run Change UI font.

4. Select a font from the list or enter one manually.

5. Restart VS Code.

[!NOTE] The selected font must already be installed on your operating system.

Restore the Default Font

1. Open the Command Palette.
2. Run Restore UI font.
3. Restart VS Code.

📋 Requirements

• VS Code 1.85.0 or later
• The desired font installed on your system
• Permission to modify the VS Code installation directory

⚠️ Important

[!WARNING] This extension modifies VS Code installation files to apply your selected UI font.

[!IMPORTANT] After applying a font, VS Code may display the following message:

"Your Code installation appears to be corrupt."

This is expected because the extension patches internal VS Code files.

[!NOTE] Updating VS Code restores the original files. If your custom font disappears after an update, simply run Change UI font again and restart VS Code.

[!NOTE] Windows is the primary supported platform. macOS and Linux are supported on a best-effort basis.
