VS Code Extensions
Check out Exa Theme Pack and Icon Pack for VS Code!
Theme
VS Code now ships a dozen+ themes, none of which you can uninstall (only disable) and kinda suck for reasons of personal taste and poor semantic highlighting support. So I made my own theme pack that aims to support rich semantic highlighting with (mostly) consistent color rules regardless of the theme or language e.g. function are always blue, strings are always green, declarators such as fn
, def
are yellow, etc., little things to help create a consistent reference regardless of theme.
Three of the themes were made with the time of day in-mind, Glacial (white) during the day when the sun is brightest and you need enough constrast to cut through screen glare, Azure (medium-blue) when the sun is on the down and I no longer want my retinas searing from a bright white background, Tundra (dark-blue) when the sun completely or in dark lighting. The fourth theme Woodland (green) was an accident that I kept around for the heck of it.
Icons
Creating a icon pack was created out of necessity for a consistence set of file icons that were visable regardless of light or dark color theme, creating variants of icons that were clearly identifiable on both light and dark backgrounds. I dont support nearly as many file extenstions as other icon packs available, but as I’m continuously adding as I notice file extenstions that don’t have an icon in projects I work on.
