Top 5 VS Code Color Themes!

[@LearnWebCode]

What are some of your favorite color themes?

[@AvionicsDev]

Catppuccin was nice ⭐, will definitely give it a try. My favourite: 1. Monkai Pro 2. Cobalt2 (by Wes Bos) 3. Brogrammer (when u want something different and minimalistic)

I want a theme that looks professional but shows the highlight up on the tags so that I can see them in pairs

One Dark Pro, Darker variant. Quite a conservative and "boring" color scheme, but no matter how many other color themes I've tried, I always come back to it. One more point, which is a bit counterintuitive: if you find it comfortable to work with a low-contrast theme like Gruvbox Material, but you switch between VS Code and other applications where the colors are brighter or more contrasting, and this transition between different brightness levels tires you out, then give up the low-contrast theme in VS Code and set the contrast globally in your system or adjust your monitor for overall comfort to achieve a comfortable contrast everywhere. The fact is that when you switch between something dim and bright, your eye muscles strain significantly, causing not only psychological but also physical fatigue. In other words, try to establish a uniform contrast throughout your working environment, and the chances of your eyes seeing clearly in old age will increase. In other words, low-contrast themes make sense if your IDE is open almost all the time in full screen and your eyes are only seeing this screen. Otherwise, it's better to set the contrast, maximum brightness, and color tone globally.

Same! Been using it for years, since the Atom days. Tried many others, but for some reason they made the same code less readable to me. I guess it has over 9 million downloads for a reason.. was honestly expecting it to be mentioned in the video and I'm kinda disappointed it wasn't.

One Dark Pro is the GOAT. It doesn’t just have perfect contrast levels, but is also aesthetic as fuck. It’s just beautiful and I’ve never been tempted to switch from it after multiple years of use.

[@LearnWebCode]

I loved the default theme in Atom; it never occurred to me to search for it in other editors. My bad for not having this one on my radar, it's such a good base, it should be the VS Code default.

[@TejasNesarikar]

One dark pro is great but the red color variables are irritating........

[@iswilson]

My favourite : Scepter theme.

[@alexchrysovergis]

I also have a hard time spelling Catppuccin, but it's my favorite theme. I've been using it for 2-3 years now. It was recommended to me by a classmate while I was studying.

[@LearnWebCode]

Nice, that classmate was spot on; it's the best! 🐈☕

[@nhatjddees]

I'm stuck with Dracula for a long time! For now I'll try Catppuccin! Thanks!

[@caerphoto]

If you like Kanagawa and Catppucin you might also like Rosé Pine. It has 3 variants, with my favourite being 'Moon' - it has more colour saturation and a slightly less dark background than the base variant. There's also a 'Dawn' variant if you want light background. I like it because it has a sort of warm, comfortable feeling. Kinda hard to explain, but Catppucin, Tokyo Night and Kanagawa feel a bit cold in comparison.

[@LearnWebCode]

Whoa! I hadn't seen that one before but I really really like it. I'm using it now (Moon variant) 😎 Thanks for the tip!

[@dancehalllyrics1303]

I have been using the "Winter is Coming" theme for a long period of time, and I can only highly recommend it ✌🏽

[@LearnWebCode]

I just checked it out; the dark blue looks nice!

[@dancehalllyrics1303]

@@LearnWebCode, it really does! Maybe worth including in a potential follow-up to this video? 🤷

[@LearnWebCode]

@@dancehalllyrics1303 Good idea!

[@ricardo7oo]

I recently found Tokyo Night. It's now my fav

[@LearnWebCode]

Ooooh, I really like the "storm" variant of Tokyo Night; hadn't heard of this one, thanks for the tip!

[@BSOD.Enjoyer]

last i check vsc is the only text editor with text glow effect. that makes me almost want to switch to vsc, almost...

[@LearnWebCode]

I haven't experimented with the glow / neon effects yet. Which editor do you use? JetBrains, Vim or something else?

[@BSOD.Enjoyer]

​@@LearnWebCode visual studio (because c++). it has syntax highlighting. there is about couple seconds delay between me typing code, and code gets colored correctly. but im used to it (probably due to stockholm syndrome). if you spend 20 minutes in option->env->color menu, you can make your code look like rainbow. it can give pretty much every c++ token a different color. only things it's lacking is glow

[@jumpcut8101]

Can you please tell me the name of the font you are using ?

[@LearnWebCode]

Sure thing; I'm using the "Monaco" font in this video.

[@jumpcut8101]

@@LearnWebCode Thanks for telling, however its not working for some reason. So i'm using jetbrains mono as an alternative.

[@Quand101]

Just right on time

[@yinonelbaz5309]

thanks for your sharing

[@stpengineering]

Monokai 🤩

[@LearnWebCode]

One of my favorites!! Wasn't it the default in Sublime Text? Or one very similar?

[@stpengineering]

@@LearnWebCode When I started, editors weren't that popular. I started with Adobe Dreamweaver and then moved to VS Code and have used only VS Code forever. Just think that all the other editors (like atom) don't even know how they work. My story proved me right, today it is the most popular editor (I think)

[@LinuxForLife]

No Timeline... 😥

[@LearnWebCode]

Is there a theme called Timeline? I just searched, it looks like an awesome Git integration feature? I definitely want to start using that; maybe cover it in a video. BTW, based on your username, which distro are you using?

[@LinuxForLife]

@@LearnWebCode When I use "Timeline" I mean chapter(s) in your Video... And as distribution, I use Ubuntu 22.04 now, but have been using Debian for many years and before it was RedHat. I have also worked with FreeBSD and OpenBSD mostly for infrastructure tasks. I was an alien when I was using Open Source around 1999... 🤣
