Rusty Colors

VSCode theme consisting of calming soft colors. Main colors are inspired by Rusty Copper environments and include Light Brown, Soft Red, Rusty Blue, Light Gray.

This theme is a perfect fit for Rust language.

  • Includes semantic highlighting & full support for Rust, C++, JavaScript, TypeScript and other languages listed below.

Preview

Each language in this list has hand-crafted, fine-tuned support. Each language uses same colors for same things (functions, structs, keywords, etc. each have same color in each language).

  • Rust
  • C++
  • JavaScript, TypeScript
  • JSON, TOML, HTML, MARKDOWN, XML

Customization

If you are using VSCode 1.12+ versions you can customize the colors to your liking, overriding the ones provided by this theme.

To do so, open command palette and type Open User Settings (JSON). In this file you can override colors of this theme by adding this at the end of your settings object:

// file: settings.json
{
    // your settings

    "editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
        "[Rusty Colors]": {
            "textMateRules": [
                // put textMateRules here, for example:
                {
                    "scope": "string.quoted",
                    "settings": { "foreground": "#5fc26e" }
                }
            ]
        }
    }
}

Some useful textMateRules overrides you might like:

// Make Strings green like comments (default strings are brown):
{
    "scope": "string.quoted",
    "settings": { "foreground": "#5fc26e" }
}

// Make all punktuation & parenthesis yellow
{ 
    "scope": [ 
        "punctuation.brackets.round", "punctuation", 
        "punctuation.brackets.angle", "punctuation.brackets.curly"
    ], 
    "settings": { "foreground": "#d9a958" }
}
