Customize the theme

Syntax color

If you want to customize the syntax color, follow the instruction here. I prepared some code sample of various languages in the repository to help testing the colors.

Workbench color

Customizing the color of workbench element is a bit more tricky, as there is no straighforward way to find out the name of the element you want to change (if there is, please let me know!). In any case, the instruction is available here.
