I use Night Owl.
It's really nice.

Before Night Owl was a theme I used Cobalt 2 when it got ported to VSCode from Sublime text.

Ever since @aspittel posted this article I've been a Fairy Floss convert. The only change I've made is making the highlight background color Deep Pink so that it pops out better to my eye.

I personally fell in love with Atom's One Dark theme, which is why the first thing I did upon switching to VS Code was to install the One Dark Pro extension. I don't see myself changing themes any time soon (or ever).

Emanuele Bartolesi • Jan 11 '19

yes, also Atom is one of the best theme!

I just love how friendly and bubbly it looks.

Hey Hello, Experts !!!

I would like to have a reviewer (many?) for my color theme because I only did the TypeScript/Javascript Syntax ... (the CSS should be improved) I am not good at Ruby, Python the C families (C# & C/C++) and all the other languages I am not sure to exist ...

Reach me on Twitter @Luxcium

You can look into it on GitHub: "Pop N' Lock Theme by Luxcium ✨"

The Theme is available in the VS Code market place

Give me your impressions and please send me screen captures of your favorite language with my theme... (don't do like I did below... don't do a screen capture of something confidential ...)

TypeScript example

You probably want to see a screen capture of the Theme and syntax ... there you go:

I am working on something ultra confidential its something super sensitive with the credential data and stuff ... Don't show that to anyone ...

I'm a big Cobalt2 fan. I've seen a lot of people advocating for Shades of Purple lately. I'll have to try out some of these to see if they work better for me (dethrowning Cobalt2).
