Microdigm Theme for VS Code
The official VS Code theme for Microdigm, built from the Microdigm brand guidelines.
Includes two variants:
- Microdigm Dark — near-black (
#050505) background with lime green (#B8FF4D) accents.
Matches the brand's video, social, and pitch-deck styling.
- Microdigm Light — white/
#F8FAFC background using deep forest green (#406513) for
text and links, per the brand guideline's print/contrast rule ("use #406513 instead of
lime on light backgrounds").
Install
From the VS Code Marketplace:
- Open the Extensions panel in VS Code (
Ctrl+Shift+X / Cmd+Shift+X) and search for Microdigm Theme, or install directly from the Marketplace listing.
- Alternatively, run this from the Command Palette (
Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P) or a terminal:
ext install microdigm.microdigm-theme
- Open the Command Palette → Preferences: Color Theme → choose Microdigm Dark or Microdigm Light.
From a .vsix file (if you received one directly rather than through the Marketplace):
- In VS Code, open the Extensions panel → ... menu (top right) → Install from VSIX... → select the
.vsix file.
- Open the Command Palette → Preferences: Color Theme → choose Microdigm Dark or Microdigm Light.
Recommended companion settings
The brand typeface is Plus Jakarta Sans. Install it from
fonts.google.com/specimen/Plus+Jakarta+Sans,
then optionally set it as your UI/editor font:
{
"workbench.colorTheme": "Microdigm Dark",
"editor.fontFamily": "'Plus Jakarta Sans', system-ui, Consolas, monospace",
"window.titleBarStyle": "custom"
}
Note: VS Code's editor typically renders better with a monospace font for code; Plus Jakarta
Sans is best applied to workbench.fontAliasing-adjacent UI contexts or left for non-code
surfaces. Adjust to taste.

Syntax highlighting extends the brand's lime/forest-green family with a small set of
complementary hues (sky blue, amber, violet, soft red) for readability across keywords,
strings, types, and parameters, while keeping lime as the dominant accent for UI chrome
(activity bar, selections, buttons, cursor).
