I used Gruvbox in the past too! But a few weeks ago I discovered Nord theme and I really like it, I use it for my system color palette, but also has VS Code support.

I really like the Nord Theme Color palette, but its just too one-tone for me if you know what I mean. I feel like the colors are all the same to me after a while which will work bad on my concentration. Thank you for taking your time to respond, appreciate it alot.

Much love,

It has optimal colors for me.

Monokai. I've used it for so long that anything else feels wrong. 😅

Additionally I use "Carbon Product Icons"for the ui icons, and "Material Icon Theme" for the file icons.

I have tried many themes for VS Code, but the only thing that stands the most is the One Dark Pro.

with its multi multi color support, its very easy to read codes. After using it, I will always use it till the end.

Rose Pine is my favorite. I use it for Hyper Terminal and Windows Terminal as well.

If you want more minimal I would recommend poimandres which is the other one I use if I need a switch from Rose Pine.

Solarized (Dark) all the way. I've used it for about 8 years now for everything. I've tried a few others, many of the ones listed here...but over time they either feel too monotone or, the ones with bright and vibrant colors cause too much eye strain. Solarized is perfect for long programming stretches IMO.
