Dark-

Simple dark themes, based on the default Dark (Visual Studio) and Dark Modern themes but with less syntax highlight.

Rationale

These themes keeps the familiar workbench look of the Dark (Visual Studio), Dark+, and Dark Modern.

On top of that, these themes dim the whitespace, the ruler, and the line numbers to improve the contrast with the actual code.

The comments color is changed to gray from the default green.

Themes

Dark-

The Dark- syntax theme highlights comments, constants, keywords, and strings (basically: the minimum to easily spot mispelled keywords and non terminated strings).

This syntax theme is available in four different workbench theme variations:

Dark- (Visual Studio), based on the Dark (Visual Studio) theme.
Dark- Modern, based on the Dark Modern default theme.
Dark- (Visual Studio) (Flat UI) and Dark- Modern (Flat UI) use a flatter (and hopefully cleaner) look, based on the Dark (Visual Studio) and Dark Modern workbench themes.

Dark--

The Dark-- syntax theme highlights just comments.

This syntax theme is available in the Dark-- (Visual Studio) workbench theme variation only.

Customizations

Previous Dark- versions featured some customizations over the workbench look of Dark (Visual Studio) and Dark+ (such as a less bright status bar).

Those customizations have been removed from the theme for simplicity and consistency. Users can now tweak the themes according their particular taste.

Suggestions

Restore the "classic" status bar colors when using one of the Dark- Modern variations:

  "workbench.colorCustomizations": {
  	"statusBar.background": "#007acc",
  	"statusBar.debuggingBackground": "#cc6633",
  	"statusBar.foreground": "#ffffff",
  	"statusBar.noFolderBackground": "#68217a",
  	"statusBarItem.remoteBackground": "#16825d"
  }

The status bar color from the previous versions of the Dark- theme was #0e639c (darker than the default #007acc):
```
  "workbench.colorCustomizations": {
  	"statusBar.background": "#0e639c"
  }
```

For a reference, the default status bar colors in Dark (Visual Studio) and Dark+ are:

  "statusBar.background": "#007acc",
  "statusBar.debuggingBackground": "#cc6633",
  "statusBar.foreground": "#ffffff",
  "statusBar.noFolderBackground": "#68217a",
  "statusBarItem.remoteBackground": "#16825d"
