The Mango Theme

A dark theme built for readable, comfortable coding — calm syntax colors, subtle line highlights, and a clean sidebar. One JSON file, easy to customize.

When you select Mango Dark, the extension applies editor defaults that match this layout: no minimap, hidden activity bar, generous line height, and indentation guides — the same friendly spacing you remember from classic GitHub-era editors.

Installing

Visual Studio Code Marketplace

Recommended settings

These apply when you select Mango Dark. If something still looks off, your user settings may be overriding them — open Settings and search for editor.fontFamily / editor.fontSize.

{
  "editor.fontFamily": "Menlo, Consolas, 'DejaVu Sans Mono', monospace",
  "editor.fontSize": 14,
  "editor.lineHeight": 1.5,
  "editor.semanticHighlighting.enabled": false,
  "editor.minimap.enabled": false,
  "explorer.openEditors.visible": 0,
  "workbench.activityBar.location": "hidden"
}

After switching theme: Cmd+Shift+P → Developer: Reload Window.
