VSCode Color Customization
In VSCode, you can install various themes and enable any of them for different languages. However, the cooler thing about it is that you can customize each theme very easily.
Open your settings.json file and add the following tags. In the following, the editor background has been updated for both Default Dark+ and One Monokai themes.
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
"[Default Dark+]": {
"editor.background": "#191d22",
},
"[One Monokai]": {
"editor.background": "#191d22",
"editor.lineHighlightBackground": "#282c35",
"editor.selectionBackground": "#3E4451"
}
}
Also, you can change every entity’s color separately. For that, go to the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) and find the option: Developer: Inspect Editor Tokens and Scopes. Now you can click on any word/character in the your source file and see what its scope is. Then, you can easily change its color and format. In the following, I have changed something in LaTeX and CUDA using this method. (I have changed functions and comments foreground color for all languages)
"editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
"[Default Dark+]": {
"functions": {
"foreground": "#dada9c"
// ,
// "fontStyle": "italic"
},
"textMateRules": [
{
"scope": "entity.name.section.latex",
"settings": {
"foreground": "#50b4b4",
"fontStyle": "italic"
},
},
{
"scope": "constant.numeric.decimal.cuda-cpp",
"settings": {
"foreground": "#a3ce8c"
}
}
]
},
"[One Monokai]": {
"comments": "#677d74",
}
},
