Introducing Tomorrow - A New Look for Code Editor

Introduction

Visual Studio Code is by far one of the most popular code editors for web, mobile, and hardware developers. More than 2,600,000 people use VS Code every month, up by over 160% in the last year.

A week ago I have created my own theme ( Tomorrow ), This theme was inspired by One Dark Pro and Material Theme.
