So... I'm never recording with my Invisalign again lol

[@theanimegamer2048]

The lisps are the best thing about this video 😂

[@atlantic_love]

@@theanimegamer2048 He's got a pretty face, goes well with the list :D

[@infecta]

we came here for themes anyway mate

[@HerryTCO]

I would prefer to see more of the actual themes instead of your face. I wanted to compare them without having to check each one out by myself

[@thekrat7769]

I had the same thought.

[@yabovax7403]

Yep

[@eineatombombe]

He's smile is too creepy

[@zabantak4053]

That was rude

[@HerryTCO]

@@zabantak4053 no it wasnt?

[@ShivanshKaran]

The only thing I hate about one dark pro is its docstrings. They have the same colour as the strings which is so distracting. Is there a way to change it?

[@Sumoindianer]

Hey whats the name of the first font from the synthwave 84 theme?

[@tjnaz]

Subscribing just for your enthusiasm and sort of a cheery disposition. Like one of the other commenter said you could display the theme alongside for better viewing experience. I just wanna ask you one question though, does the mouse still live with you?

[@ahmedhassan5783]

a very unique video out there, never excepted much to be honest when I decided to search KZbin for nice vs code themes but your video is really something. nice picks 👍 and nice video 👍👍

[@giodev_]

Glad you liked it!

[@weraldopolento7079]

what font are you using?

[@badcabemanagement]

Man, you dont know how much this help me got many references. Thanks!

[@dlopezgo9060]

The themes video I was looking for. Thanks

[@abduragoma1631]

You really deserve more subscribers bro, keep going

[@lorenzostriano]

you're improving more and more 😍

[@imanerahmaoui04]

I was watching it to learn more about themes, but ending up having fun, lol, that's cool

[@cgl4de]

The beginning was hilarious (and relatable) to me! So true LMAO

[@MahdiMGH]

Why you don't mention the name of themes on the video?

[@patrickechers]

So, I just took a look at Tokyo Night. It's by far my favorite... almost. Atom Dark Pro is also my go-to theme, as the color palette is so easy on the eyes and easy to read each code segment etc. I do however, enjoy Tokyo Night besides ONE thing (as far as I can tell). Variables are a dull blue/grey color - I want them to be red as in Atom Dark Pro (and many other themes). They are used so often and so much, that I need to be able to tell them apart and make them stand out. Is it possible to adjust colors in different themes? If so, I'd love to make a few tweaks to the Tokyo Night theme for myself.

[@trucmuche747]

Thanks a lot Sir!! Helped a lot.

[@nelly9080]

I cant seem to find the vibrancy theme :(>

[@tanh2k2k]

Lol the intro got me so bad, you have my subscribe bro, keep creating great contents.

[@MarkDeibert]

Tokyo Night FTW! Love it love it love it. City Lights theme also makes my eyes smile :-)

[@orkunyuce6806]

What is the name of number ten

[@overdrive112]

nice, was looking for "Vibrancy"! thanks a lot

[@giodev_]

Enjoy!

[@MisterSkraetsch]

Thanks for your video. Cheers from Switzerland :)

[@christerjohanzzon]

I prefer Popping and Locking Black theme, along with GlassIt and VSCode Icons. Perfect for for your eyes, and with GlassIt you can set transparancy to your window. Save it as a Workspace file, and done.

[@samuelaponte2687]

Great video bro!

[@Alexander-ms2ct]

Great overview. Honestly great quality video from a small KZbinr. I found it useful/helpful. Themes are opinionated but I like that you gave scenarios and your opinion. Very helpful! It really gave me a prospective on what my pros and cons were between each one that I might not think about initially. Constructive criticism time, I can visibly see you just learned to edit videos. Because on KZbin at start, it’s either you over or under fit on editing (people who start KZbin in general do one or the other)… You are editing transitions too fast, I had to rewind a few times and make sure I pause at the exact time to see something I wanted to see… each time I wanted to see something. Regardless good overview

[@Alexander-ms2ct]

@4:05 is a transition that’s way too fast for example

[@Siphoni]

Bro you are SOO underrated. Holy cow.

[@camilbisson2066]

This is great content! I would have liked to see more images of each theme tho

[@giodev_]

You're totally right, thanks for the feedback!

[@noahperrin9905]

wait why do you have only 536 followers? your content is really nice and comparable to some very popular KZbinrs!

[@pedrohduca]

I'll try One Dark Pro, i've using dark owl around 2-3 years and now i'm done. Let me try One Drk pro

[@bbimpact.]

nice ranking for sure

[@MilleFalchiJUNIOR]

bel video, ma cos'è quel parallelepipedo blu vicino alla pallina da tennis 🤔

[@scobru1988]

grandissimo video super divertente e utile :D , aggiungi anche qualche tema per colorblind come me next time ahhaha

[@Gupatik]

I like your energie, so unique. Keep on!

[@giodev_]

Thank you!

[@Wazulafu]

can i ask how did you get those font?

[@giodev_]

Just search up 'font family' in your VS Code settings (ctrl/cmd + ,) I'm using Fira Code (Nerd Font) if you're wondering :)

[@franzeck8003]

what about vim theme

[@hristopavlov298]

I use pink flower, I like it the most for day coding. Also am I wrong or is the song in #1 from Endwalker? ;)

[@gwolojulius4135]

Your face is dominating the entire video. I love to really see the themes for a while instead

[@raavn0007]

what about cobalt 2

[@shogun9450]

You ranked your list in the description with time stamps, for that I will subscribe

[@rithsovannak1837]

Great content bro

[@knotprasertsimla3969]

Thank you. I really like it! So, I installed all 12. lol😂😂

[@NekoTheCatTheSlapper]

I enjoyed just about every one of these themes! Nord stood out for me.

[@theplaymakerno1]

I do agree that one dark pro is the best. However, Dracula should be in the top 3, in my opinion as it is one of the best. The only problem with Dracula is that it is too colorful that can be distracting. One Dark Pro on the other hand makes it super easy to find the end bracket of a function, as everything is just colored so well.

[@PretoraSankti-cm6su]

I've recently come across *Galactic Glow* 🌌, a hidden gem in the VSCode extension world. It lets you change your coding environment's appearance to match iconic characters 🌟. It's like a Star Wars adventure for your code

[@skrumy6062]

sublime text 4 theme (15,6k installs) my top theme, absolutely perfect❤

[@talhawaseem4805]

In my case I like 'cobalt2' theme and 'ayu' try out it's ammmazing

[@opmil]

for years I haven't been able to decide between gruvbox and tokyo night.

[@adityabhardwaj7022]

Actually legit. Thanks!

[@LayMelnTheRiver]

3:05 Where could I download such wallpapers for my desktop? Can I have a link or the name of the site?

[@giodev_]

You can find it here: vsthemes.org/uploads/posts/2020-04/1586853771_daniel-leone-v7datklzzaw-unsplash-modded.webp Or just search 'Nord Theme Wallpaper' to find others like it :)

[@LayMelnTheRiver]

@@giodev_ Thanks, it took me a long time to find such wallpapers on this request. I owe you

[@abdulbasit0123]

anyone knows what is the name of 00:24 ?

[@giodev_]

Atom's Monokai theme :)

[@shadz-dev]

Try Attentio theme, custom made it and has awesome token colors.

[@jeremygl1569]

VIBRANCY broke my VS code! I installed it, didnt like it (its too distracting) and I cant uninstall it due to corrupt file. Now not only am I stuck with vibrancy, my vs code is fucking slow too.

[@cbbcbb6803]

Good video! But I much prefer light themes with dark characters. Maybe an off-white background.

[@yuzhang2755]

What is the theme at 0:24 ?

[@giodev_]

It looks like Atom's Monokai theme-really clean!

[@marufbepary100]

For me, colourful and diverse syntax and versatility are important. I can easily change the background in the settings and I already have a custom one.

[@Mwtorres89]

That’s what I did. I use community material palenight high contrast but I changed the background to a more dark blue purple color

[@hoangngocnguyen191]

thanks, it's useful

[@mahmood466]

Great video! What font do you use in this video?

[@giodev_]

Fira Code, really nice font if you like ligatures!

[@rishi2264]

whats ur font used in here, that font is so clean

[@giodev_]

Fira Code, and I agree it's really clean (wait until you see its font ligatures!)

[@shobhitsahu5878]

bro I was so bored working on vs code and was thinking to get a new theme, thanks for your suggestion, I am using Tokyo night right now and loving it. I don't think I am going to be bored with this theme anytime soon.....

[@ZIndianEagle]

Material Ocean is SOOO good…I used one dark pro for a couple of months but then I just got bored of it…

[@SumanNath25]

Agreed. I have tried many. After 1 or days mac I keep coming back to One dark pro.

[@ojangolejordan4819]

you have earned my sub

[@frontendhari6038]

Hey where is ayu 😲😮?

[@sourcream1671]

I'm a huge Undertale fan, and hearing heartache in a programming video shocked me so much. I'm speechless.

[@oumardicko5593]

Some where good not gonna lie. You could try sonokai, everforest, rose-pine, catppuccin, nightfox, there ayu too. For lite theme, personally i think solarized is the best

[@wafi5576]

would've loved to see more photage of the themes showcased here , we only got few seconds of each one. i love you video though

[@princeplayz8374]

the intro caught me off guard so bad

[@x_y_e_n]

if you like use this theme "night owl" not your blue one there's another black amoled (pitch black) version which have most best color palette

[@shivamjhaa]

Try Oceanic Next with Babel Syntax highlight extension. You'd love it

[@phucnguyen0110]

Expected the number 1 position tbh lol I would like to shoutout two other themes that I really like: Andromeda and Dainty Theme ^^

[@beamboyz4901]

keep gping good vibz already kid

[@ssmufc9941]

My favourite is Brackets Dark (remember the good old days?), I've been using it on Atom for years. Making the jump to VS Code now and was chuffed to see the theme existed here too... Only to find out it doesn't support LESS/SCSS files on VS Code - no idea why!!? Oh well, on the hunt for a new one I guess, maybe it's time for a change.

[@matheusfel8216]

I love too brackets dark

[@giuliatoffoli7030]

omg I love #4😍😍😍

[@pratikmengal55]

Nice Dhims 👀

[@chizuru1999]

one dark and night owl will be all you ever need.

[@claudiacalise5733]

Dracula will always be my favorite 🧛💕

[@ms-hz9il]

First time watching you, I start programming recently and this is the first time I see you already started inspiring me, best regards bro ❤❤❤ I must hit that sub button, your follower Mohammed from Jordan ❤🙏👍

[@virgil2023]

After playing with a lot of different themes, my number one is Dracula. I like One dark pro dark also.

[@JordanSparkes]

My number one is a bit of an odd-ball: Makinda Dark, with a few customisations to make it great for dev work.

[@legendkiller5513]

i love how every top list whenever you present the slot you have to say “in my opinion” or you get attacked

[@everythingbuttherain6323]

I am using Aurora X, really nice one

[@ItsPureLuck27]

Nice video! Monokai Pro really is my favorite to the point where I said screw it, this is worth the $10. Noctis is the other one I will default to, particularly if I'm in a well lit room and have a need for the light theme (Noctis Hibernus is just gorgeous)

[@giodev_]

I really can't stand light themes, (my eyes would rather self-destruct then to use one) but Noctis Hibernus is probably one of the best in terms of legibility. Nice find!

[@ItsPureLuck27]

@@giodev_ I used to be the same way, until about a year ago my new Apartment is in a spot that is just much more naturally bright so I had to adjust a bit. I still prefer Monokai Pro, but I really like Noctis because the light/dark themes have the same semantic highlighting and both are gorgeous (especially Azureus for dark and Hibernus for light)

[@Maleficarum999]

There are some syntax highlights that Monokai Pro doesn't consider which makes it a bit unappealing, the biggest issue for me is that in React it doesn't differentiate between custom and native HTML elements.

[@ItsPureLuck27]

@@Maleficarum999 Actually in the months since I wrote this and after having gotten into React, I do agree. I use Noctis pretty much exclusively now

[@Maleficarum999]

​@@ItsPureLuck27 Nah, I'm just too used to Monokai Pro to change it, just manually modifying it as I go :P

NICE Video! ... im using "Spacegray Ocean Dark" Next Please: Ranking the BEST Programming FONT 😁 and thanks for the content ♥

Great suggestion! Fonts are something I'm really interested in... Expect to see it _relatively_ soon!

Tomorrow Night Eighties is my best theme of all time. After more than +15 years of programming.

[@kingananas2.0]

The discord invite link is expired

[@giodev_]

Thank you for that! Should be fixed now.

[@joellisfsantana]

Thanks Giorgio!

[@alessandroferrari2166]

ciao Giorgio, if I may, here's some non-requested feedback. It would have been a bit more useful to 1) keep displaying the team on the side, while you were talking about it. Now we can just have a quick glance at it; 2) write out the name of the team on the video; 3) link the themes in the description. Other than that, thank you for the video and congrats on your English!

[@giodev_]

Grazie Alessandro ;) Yeah, I couldn't quite figure out how to display the themes in an interesting way; the side-by-side idea is great though, I'm so mad for not having thought of that! I think I did write out the name for SynthWave '84, I'm not sure why I stopped (I probably just forgot to write the rest haha). About the linking the themes, I thought of doing that, but since most people would just go to VS Code to download them, I guess I avoided the hassle. It could still help some people though... Thank you so much for the feedback! I wish more people gave me some. Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@v0idvlr]

you should take a look at the Omni Theme and Aura Dark Theme

[@GoogleUser-nx3wp]

A little update synthwave84 has improved since then and doesn't lag which makes it in atleast top 5

[@spiderdev1678]

Subscribed!

[@mayanr.williams]

Ótimo video, te achei muito carismático!

[@GeorgeLimaaa]

I came look for new themes and literaly the ones mentioned were all already got.

One Dark Pro doesnt support CSS sadly

bro you can be the next ice poseiden

[@EduardoDonato82]

I could not find number 3: Field Light. I think I misunderstood the name.

[@BrandonVout]

It's "Field Lights Theme" by Sebastián Veggiani.

[@desmondvic8947]

Celestial is an amazing dark theme with high readability and has an apt color scheme. It is a very underrated theme actually.

[@Moonajuana]

I feel like Synthwave '84 shoulda been on this list somewhere :/

[@contentsofjoy]

Interesting video bro

[@giodev_]

Appreciate it :)

[@xlr8286]

My favorites are Atomize, and Dobro Next Mirage

[@lethitrongkieu4753]

Uh I use NightOwl for neovim and Dracula for vscode, which is (beautifully) at the rank of 9th and 8th :)))
