New GitHub themes for VS Code
- de6u99er 6y agoSoon with LinkedIn integration!
- neatze 6y agoI really hope not.
- doesnt_know 6y agoYou're probably "sort of but not really joking", but I mean it would be on-brand to see them dropping a LinkedIn/Github integration. Show employers and recruiters how much unpaid work you do!.
- bobowzki 6y agoSo they can trick you into doing more!
- prakhargurunani 6y agoWhat about stack overflow inside VS Code ? Is it a good idea ?
- ep103 6y agoEveryday we come a little bit closer to automatically pushing the top rated stackoverflow post's answer directly into production. Truly, we are optimizing the development experience.

- fueloil 6y agoPornhub would be better.

- jsmeaton 6y agoIt'd be so helpful to show some examples/images of the various themes without having to install them locally to browse. The image in the announcement leaves a lot to be desired. https://imgur.com/a/nAXttun https://imgur.com/a/nAXttun screenshots of all the github themes, plus the one I use (one dark pro).

- _hao 6y agoI wish themes showcased C#/C++ examples or basically any other languages besides JS/HTML/CSS combo... Every time I see a theme I'd like to try I proceed to install it, open up a file in both of the aforementioned languages and then I uninstall the theme due to some obvious things missing. For example in C++ very few themes highlight namespaces and their members in different colors. It's a damn shame really.
- jlund-molfese 6y agoHmm, it's an Electron app, so it could be cool to be able to click a button on a theme site which launches an instance of VS Code with an already-applied theme, similar to Theia[1]. Of course, I'm sure this would take longer than it sounds like it would. [1] https://theia-ide.org/ https://theia-ide.org/
- ggregoire 6y agoTo open up a bit the topic, I’ve been using the Nord theme for a few years now. Looks amazing. Available for most code editors and terminals. https://www.nordtheme.com https://www.nordtheme.com
- nainarb 6y agoToo much blue in the background
- krono 6y agoI do like the palette by itself, but not as an editor theme. There is so little contrast and it is too bright.
- jsmeaton 6y agoYes I agree with you. The various tokens all blend together and it's difficult to pick out the differences. They are pleasing colours though. https://imgur.com/a/j6r8iXN https://imgur.com/a/j6r8iXN
- petepete 6y agoIf you configure Nord to have a darker background the colours definitely stand out better. There are quite a few config options to play with. https://www.nordtheme.com/docs/ports/vim/configuration https://www.nordtheme.com/docs/ports/vim/configuration

- vict7 6y agoI've always been a big Monokai fan. Usually Monokai Night now. I did try out this theme recently and really enjoyed it with the caveat that my @emotion/core CSS template literals weren't being highlighted correctly. I notice some themes have more robust syntax highlighting out of the box. Is that something I can tweak easily?
- patates 6y agoInteresting, considering they don't talk about atom (https://github.com/atom https://github.com/atom) at all lately. Maybe they would stop developing it and contribute to VSCode instead? Is there anything atom has over VSCode?
- roryrjb 6y agoTreesitter[0] maybe? Although that may also be built into VS Code too, I've just never seen it mentioned anywhere. 0. https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter
- sdesol 6y agoAtom isn't really being developed anymore, as this 1 year window shows: https://public-001.gitsense.com/insights/github/repos?q=window%3A365&r=github%3Aatom%2Fatom&v=repo https://public-001.gitsense.com/insights/github/repos?q=wind... In the last year, there were only 73 contributors with the vast majority of contributors making very small changes. Compare this to vscode: https://public-001.gitsense.com/insights/github/repos?r=github%3Amicrosoft%2Fvscode&v=repo https://public-001.gitsense.com/insights/github/repos?r=gith... with 389 contributors with over 20 contributors working on it pretty much full time.
- decodebytes 6y agoDark themes are very popular, and it makes sense as they look so cool. I would still encourage anyone to try light themes out, the fatigue you experience is notably less. I made the switch a while ago and really noticed how less tired I felt after a days work.
- m8s 6y agoI've been working outside quite a bit recently, and light themes are a lot easier to see with the brightness and glare. I don't mind when I "forget" to switch back to dark themes when I come inside. I need a good Dracula Light theme.
- HDMI_Cable 6y agoIt would be interesting to see some way to “auto-switch” the themes for when you’re inside and outside, using display brightness or light sensors.

- rvanmil 6y agoMaybe these two can work together to do that on macOS: https://github.com/insidegui/DarkModeBuddy https://github.com/insidegui/DarkModeBuddy https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_42#_auto-switch-theme-based-on-os-color-scheme https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_42#_auto-switch-the...
- leovander 6y agoYou should pitch that to Zeno Rocha. He already made the variants in Dracula Pro, he could rename the current Blade them to something else and call the light theme, Daywalker.
- nullify88 6y agohttps://github.com/Armin2208/Windows-Auto-Night-Mode https://github.com/Armin2208/Windows-Auto-Night-Mode I've recently started making use of this app. Since websites and applications are starting to read the Windows dark / light mode setting (VSCode included), my desktop switches dark mode on automatically for many apps and websites in addition to the blue light filter. Some apps aren't perfect and may need a restart like MS Outlook, but many others work well.
- tejado 6y agoMost vscode themes for me are hard to use as they don‘t highlight the areas enough. Example: I’m not able to see where the line starts as the code collapse arrow background color is the same as the editor... or the left menu is not highlighting enough the current one. So I notice that I need more/better visual color differentiators so I changed a lot of colors. Has anyone the same issue?
- coldtea 6y agoYes. But it's relatively easy to fix it, you can add an entry in settings with color overrides for any combo of theme/UI element...
- tejado 6y agoYes I know. This is what I meant with „so I changed the colors“. But anyway: I wonder why most themes are so badly colored so that I need to fix it myself....
- coldtea 6y agoI'm not sure, but my guess is that almost all themes are attempts by developers, not people versed in color theory or knowledgable about proper contrast etc.
- dstaley 6y agoHonestly I'm still surprised GitHub didn't adopt One Dark as their official dark syntax theme considering they originally created it.
- inDigiNeous 6y agoLove the github dark themes. Used to roll with my own theme, customized from 'Made of Code' theme from the wild days of typing out raw code with just Vim. It's amazing what they have managed to create with web-based technologies, vscode is the best developer experience I've experienced, it feels like just editing text but with more power than I could ask for. In a good way reminds of the classical Borland Turbo-C environments, or like working in Linux in pure text mode.
- enriquto 6y agoas a die-hard vim user, what feature of vscode would shatter my world?
- inDigiNeous 5y agoFor me, one of the main reasons was the difficulty of setting a debugger inside vim, stepping lines and inspecting data. In vscode debugging just works once you've set it up. Also intellisense is just so much better than any of the things I've used with Vim, like YouCompleteMe or whatever other autocompletion sets you have. Don't get me wrong, Vim is still amazing when setup correctly, but definitely these two things I have not been able to get working with Vim ever properly.
- __vim__ 6y agoThis. Im waiting for someone to change my mind. I used vscode for a year and got fedup with the slugishness of it, went to vim and never came back.

- fuadnafiz98 6y agoAny one ported the "Github Theme Default" to vim?? I really liked the Default One.
- brianzelip 6y agoNice! I liked the GH dark theme, but I’m really digging the dark dimmed theme since it released recently. I use Alabaster for light [0] and New Moon for dark [1] in VS Code, looking forward to trying the dark dimmed theme!

- brianzelip 6y agoYou have to install GitHub Theme parent package that then installs 5 different themes. Why on earth area each of the GitHub themes not available stand alone?! I just want one!
- hivacruz 6y agoReally nice to see official releases of this. I made a Typora theme [1], a WYSIWYG Markdown editor, that matches the new GitHub Dark color palette. [1]: https://github.com/kinoute/typora-github-night-theme https://github.com/kinoute/typora-github-night-theme
- fksum 6y agoWhy are people using this editor? It is unclear what data is being sent to Microsoft: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/47284 https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/47284 There are many other and better editors.
- nojito 6y agoIt’s actually very clear and very easy to opt out. Telemetry is a good thing which is why vscode is currently the top editor in the world today.
