OLED Dark Modern Theme

A Dark Modern-based theme with deep #000 backgrounds and familiar accents, buttons, and syntax colors.

OLED Dark Modern Theme uses pure black (#000000) for the editor, sidebar, activity bar, panels, terminal, and title bar. Other surfaces keep their existing dark shades. This update preserves all existing theme colors, including accents, buttons, and syntax highlighting.

The status bar stays pure black with a folder open, without a folder, in inactive windows, and while debugging.

Included Theme

• OLED Dark Modern — a vs-dark theme contribution defined in themes/OLED Dark Modern-color-theme.json

Try It Locally

This repository is already structured as a VS Code theme extension.

1. Open this folder in VS Code.
2. Press F5 to launch an Extension Development Host.
3. In the new VS Code window, open Preferences: Color Theme.
4. Choose OLED Dark Modern.

If the theme does not appear immediately, reload the Extension Development Host window and try again.

Install as a VSIX

To package the extension and install it manually:

npm install -g @vscode/vsce

This creates a .vsix file in the project root. In VS Code, run Extensions: Install from VSIX... and select the generated package.

Development Notes

When updating theme colors, relaunch the Extension Development Host with F5 to preview changes quickly. This is the fastest workflow for refining token colors, UI surfaces, and contrast levels.
