Dark Fantasy Extension

Dark Fantasy Extension brings three dark color themes and a pixel art product icon theme to VS Code. The palette draws on grimoires, alchemy, glowing crystals, and spectral magic while keeping code readable.

Color themes

Theme	Look	Main colors
Vespergrim	Candlelit grimoires and violet potions	Violet, lavender, teal, and amber
Myrkwood	Forest herbs and luminous alchemy	Deep green, emerald, lime, and amber
Noxthar	Spectral magic and the abyss	Deep blue, icy cyan, and violet

Each theme styles the workbench, editor, syntax, terminal, selections, diagnostics, and Git decorations.

Product icons

Vespergrim Relics replaces 14 workbench symbols with custom pixel art, including Explorer, Search, Source Control, Run, Extensions, Terminal, Settings, Testing, Accounts, Notifications, Outline, Output, Remote Explorer, and Debug. The icons share a 24 × 24 grid for consistent alignment in the Activity Bar.

These previews show the actual product icon designs at Activity Bar size, using Vespergrim's foreground and background colors.

Explorer	Search	Extensions	Settings	Accounts	Remote	Debug

Source Control	Run	Terminal	Testing	Notifications	Outline	Output

The same icons work with all three color themes, and their color follows the active theme. VS Code loads product icons from a WOFF font generated from the designs in scripts/icon-designs.mjs. SVG versions live in design/pixel-icons/; this README uses PNG previews for Marketplace compatibility. File and folder icons are not included.

Visual details

Words under the cursor, matches, search results, and symbols use subtle colored outlines and translucent highlights. Tabs, sidebars, and syntax accents use brighter colors against dark backgrounds.

Installation

In VS Code, search for Dark Fantasy Extension in the Extensions view and select Install. Open Preferences: Color Theme to choose Vespergrim, Myrkwood, or Noxthar. For the pixel art workbench icons, open Preferences: Product Icon Theme and select Vespergrim Relics.

To install a downloaded VSIX instead, use Extensions: Install from VSIX... in the Command Palette.
