🔧 Troubleshooting

Theme Not Appearing

Restart VS Code completely
Check installation path
Verify JSON syntax using a JSON validator
Reload window: Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + P → "Developer: Reload Window"

Source Map Errors

These are normal and harmless:

Could not read source map for file:///c:/Users/...

Solution: Ignore them or disable source maps in settings:

{
  "debug.javascript.usePreview": false
}

Colors Not Displaying Correctly

Update VS Code to the latest version
Check color profile in your system settings
Disable other color extensions that might conflict
