VSCode Radical Theme

marketplace version    downloads    rating

A dark theme for radical hacking inspired by retro futuristic design.

  • Search and find code anywhere with optimized highlighting backgrounds and opacities.
  • Diff code changes smartly with readable diff background colors.
  • Peek view code like a pro with dark accents backgrounds and pink border highlights.
  • Looks pretty rad ヘ( ^o^)ノ\(^_^ )


Peek View

The peek view background provides a dark accent to the editor background, highlighted with pink borders. This makes peeking symbol references (⇧F12) or peeking symbol definitions (⌥F12) stand out against the editor contents.



Terminal Colors

Screenshots are using Powerlevel10k theme with Oh My Zsh with Meslo for the font. (Terminal colors are also available for iTerm in the Github repo)
