Dark-ish
Almost dark.
A graphite-gray VS Code theme with soft syntax colors and a touch of teal.
Installation
With a dark-ish-theme-*.vsix package:
- Open the Extensions view in VS Code.
- Click the
… menu and choose Install from VSIX….
- Select the package.
Or install from the command line, using the filename for your version:
code --install-extension dark-ish-theme-1.0.0.vsix
Choose your theme
Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P on macOS, Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows and Linux):
- Run Preferences: Color Theme and select Dark-ish.
- Run Preferences: Product Icon Theme and select Dark-ish Outline.
The color theme and product icons work independently. Outline icons style the Activity Bar and editor controls; use your favorite file icon extension alongside them.
Features
- A quiet graphite workspace. The sidebar, editor, and panels share one background, with a slightly darker window frame.
- Soft, distinct syntax colors. Teal, blue, pink, and warm gold give types, functions, keywords, and properties their own place.
- Semantic highlighting. Semantic token colors and TextMate rules support different language extensions.
- Matching outline icons. Dark-ish Outline brings a lighter touch to navigation and editor controls.
