It'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.<p><a href="https://imgur.com/a/nAXttun" rel="nofollow">https://imgur.com/a/nAXttun</a> screenshots of all the github themes, plus the one I use (one dark pro).
Dark 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.
Interesting, considering they don't talk about atom (<a href="https://github.com/atom" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/atom</a>) at all lately. Maybe they would stop developing it and contribute to VSCode instead? Is there anything atom has over VSCode?
Love 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.<p>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.
To 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.<p><a href="https://www.nordtheme.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.nordtheme.com</a>
Most 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.<p>So I notice that I need more/better visual color differentiators so I changed a lot of colors.
Has anyone the same issue?
Nice! I liked the GH dark theme, but I’m really digging the dark dimmed theme since it released recently.<p>I use Alabaster for light [0] and New Moon for dark [1] in VS Code, looking forward to trying the dark dimmed theme!<p>[0] <a href="https://github.com/tonsky/vscode-theme-alabaster" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/tonsky/vscode-theme-alabaster</a><p>[1] <a href="https://github.com/taniarascia/new-moon-vscode" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/taniarascia/new-moon-vscode</a>
Really 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.<p>[1]: <a href="https://github.com/kinoute/typora-github-night-theme" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/kinoute/typora-github-night-theme</a>
You 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!
Why are people using this editor? It is unclear what data is being sent to Microsoft:<p><a href="https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/47284" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/47284</a><p>There are many other and better editors.
