NOTE: The default VS Code theme does not color much. Switch to the Dark+ theme (installed by default) or use a theme like one of the following to benefit from the changes:

  • XD Theme
  • Noctis
  • Kary Pro Colors
  • Material Theme
  • One Monokai Theme
  • Winteriscoming
  • Popping and Locking
  • Syntax Highlight Theme
  • Default Theme Enhanced

How do I use it?

Just install the VS Code extension and the changes will automatically be applied to all relevent files.
