Uniform Dark+ Theme

Note: GitHub repository is mirrored from GitLab. To submit pull requests or report any issues, go to https://gitlab.com/dark-themes/uniform-dark-theme-vscode.

Color theme that unifies Visual Studio Code's default dark theme, designed for Visual Studio Code. (I am also designing a theme for Standard Notes, if anyone is interested.)

Preview

I enjoy the default dark theme, however for me it appears too boxy. Also, I prefer a cleaner look.

Lighter colors of user interface elements (e.g., Custom Title Bar, Activity Bar and Status Bar) are changed to match the darker color of the Editor background.

Not included in the color theme, though—but depicted in the preview image, is my favorite editor font family: Fira Code.

(Also in the preview image, Editor top padding equals the font size.)

Build from Source Code

Download Visual Studio Code from Microsoft, and install it.

Download and install Node.js and Git.

Also, open a terminal to download and install the Visual Studio Code Extension Manager (vsce):

npm install -g vsce

Clone the project:

git clone https://gitlab.com/dark-themes/uniform-dark-theme-vscode.git

(Recommended) Verify the project's authenticity: Look upward for "Verified," next to the commit SHA.

(Recommended) Open a terminal, and verify the project's integrity:

cd uniform-dark-theme-vscode
git show-ref --heads --hash

Check that the hash matches the commit SHA.

Open the project in Visual Studio Code, and build/package the extension:
