Default Dark+ IntelliJ Theme (Visual Studio Code)

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

Open the Extensions view (Ctrl+Shift+X / Cmd+Shift+X).
Search for Default Dark+ IntelliJ Theme and click Install.
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

Note for macOS users

The titleBar.* and commandCenter.* colors only apply when VS Code draws the title bar itself. With the native macOS title bar the window chrome is drawn by the system and no theme can recolor it. To get the themed title bar, set:

"window.titleBarStyle": "custom",
"window.customTitleBarVisibility": "auto",
"window.nativeTabs": false      // native tabs force the native title bar

Changing window.nativeTabs requires a full restart of VS Code, not just a window reload.
