Step 4: Activate Your Pink Theme:

With the extension now installed, navigate to the "Color Theme" dropdown menu, usually located in the status bar at the bottom of the window. Find your newly installed pink theme in the list and select it. Voila! Your VS Code environment is now adorned with a delightful pink color scheme. This step is only necessary in the event that your VS Code doesn't automatically activate your pink theme after installation.
