If you've ever loved Material Theme in VS Code, you're going to fall for Vira Theme — it’s the premium evolution, tailored for dark-mode devotees and polished enough to keep developer workflows in mind.
What is Vira Theme?
Material Theme lineage — Vira is the official successor of Material Theme, which powered over 9 million users over 10 years of free service. It retains and improve the beloved aesthetics, while evolving in form and function. Vira Theme, which has been in the works for a whole year, is like the next big thing after Material Theme.

Deps no thanks
Vira Theme is a refreshing change from Material Theme and all the other abandoned clones out there. It’s completely dependency-free, meaning there are no dead dependencies in the final bundle. Plus, you don’t have to download any third-party code. This means no security risks — and it’s never been the case, never trust hate-baiting on internet, they just want to monetize with hate and harassment.
FAQ
The Material Theme remains functional. However, the VSCode team has implemented policies that make deprecated extensions unavailable. This decision is not within our control. If you locate the VSIX file, you may proceed with its installation and usage, acknowledging the potential consequences.
Upgrading to the Vira Theme is not mandatory; no one compels you to migrate from Material Theme. VS Code merely suggests a replacement. If you are dissatisfied with it, you are free to use other extensions.
The Vira Theme is distinct from the Material Theme. It has undergone a comprehensive overhaul over the past year and a half, incorporating numerous updates, new icons, and features that are not present in the Material Theme.
