Default Dark+ IntelliJ Theme (Visual Studio Code)

Version Installs Rating License: MIT

A theme extension coupling the Darcula syntax color scheme (JetBrains' classic dark scheme, as shipped in IntelliJ IDEA) with an improved take on VSCode's Default Dark+ UI colors.

Features

  • Darcula syntax colors — the recognizable palette: orange bold keywords (#CC7832), teal types (#4EC9B0), amber functions (#FFC66D), purple variables (#9476a5), green strings and blue numbers.
  • Expanded workbench UI — full coverage of title bar, tabs, lists, inputs, widgets, scrollbars, editor diagnostics, Git decorations and the 16 integrated-terminal ANSI colors, all harmonized with the Darcula palette rather than inheriting bare Dark+.

Install

From the Marketplace

  1. Open the Extensions view (Ctrl+Shift+X / Cmd+Shift+X).
  2. Search for Default Dark+ IntelliJ Theme and click Install.
  3. Run Preferences: Color Theme (Ctrl+K Ctrl+T) and pick Default Dark+ IntelliJ Theme.

From a .vsix

npm install
npm run package          # produces default-dark-plus-intellij-<version>.vsix
code --install-extension default-dark-plus-intellij-<version>.vsix
