Melange Redux: A warm VS Code theme

A slightly tweaked VS Code port of the wonderful nvim color scheme called Melange created by savq 🧡.

The theme in action

Melange Redux: Light

Melange Redux: Dark

Download

• Get it from the VS Marketplace
• or using the extension ID: rtud.melange-redux

Additional information

Auto switch between Light and Dark modes based on OS setting

Please note: This behavior has been tested on macOS only.

After installing Melange: Redux, add the lines below to your user settings JSON, that will automatically switch between light/dark modes. This depends on having Light/Dark Appearance configured to Auto in macOS's System Settings. Things will look even better if you setup the recommended file icon theme, as described in the next section.

  "window.autoDetectColorScheme": true,
  "workbench.preferredLightColorTheme": "Melange Redux: Light"
  "workbench.preferredLightColorTheme": "Melange Redux: Dark"

File icons

I found that a good icon theme pairing for Melange Redux is the JetBrains Icon Theme by Chad Adams (id: chadalen.vscode-jetbrains-icon-theme).

After installing the file icon theme, make sure to add the following line to your user settings JSON, that will automatically switch to light/dark versions of itself based off the theme you're using:

  "workbench.iconTheme": "vscode-jetbrains-icon-theme-2023-auto",
