This theme is based on and enhances the Horizon theme by Jonathan Olaleye.

The purpose of this theme is to achieve the nice dark and warm theme that Horizon brings, but to correct issues such as the IDE layout being washed out and a few tweaks to help make code stand out a little more.


Installation

  1. Open the Extensions sidebar in VS Code
  2. Search for Beyond the Horizon Theme
  3. Click Install
  4. Open the Command Palette with Ctrl+Shift+P or ⇧⌘P
  5. Select Preferences: Color Theme and choose a Beyond the Horizon variant.
  6. Enjoy! 🎉 Also, check out some of the personalization options below...

Personalization

Tastes change all the time. Fortunately, VS Code makes it easy to customize just about every aspect of your editor. If you want to change something, open the Command Palette and select Preferences: Open Settings (JSON). Here, you can override VS Code's defaults or Beyond the Horizon's colors. Check out some of the personalization options below to customize Horizon to suit your taste.

For more info on theming, visit the Theme Authoring Guide and Theme Color Reference.

Italics

The normal theme only uses italics in a few places: comments, parameters, and some special keywords (e.g. this). If you would prefer no italics at all, you can configure this in your settings...

"editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
  "textMateRules": [
    {
      "name": "No italics",
      "scope": ["comment", "variable.language", "variable.parameter"],
      "settings": {
        "fontStyle": ""
      }
    }
  ]
}
