What VSCode theme are you using?

The IDE and Visual Studio Code in particular is the one tool developers use most.
Since most of us spend many hours a day in Visual Studio code, it's a terrific feature that you can choose your own theme.

At the moment I use Shades of Purple, before that I used Dracula Official for a long time but I want my IDE a bit more colorful 🎨

A great resource for finding your next theme is vscodethemes.com (I'm not related to this website 😉).

I will bookmark that for later. It has some colors but is not as extreme as mine.

Your theme looks really nice! Is it complicated to create one?

It's not complicated at all, it just requires some patience. 😄

"One Dark Pro Vivid" and these Fonts "'Menlo for Powerline', Monaco, 'Courier New', monospace".
After installing the theme you have to set the "Vivid" theme separately. I really like the brighter colors.

"One Dark Pro" looks familiar - is that the Atom default theme?

I've been using and loving Ayu ever since I found it! I personally switch between the two dark variants pretty often, can't pick a favorite....

I like that font. Looks like the Operator Mono but for free!

BTW: You are the first person I see who has the activity bar on the right 😁

Dank Mono isn't free, but I really like the font and it is way more affordable than Operator Mono.

I do things like moving toolbars to keep my brain sharp. Same with my mouse. I'm right handed, but use the mouse with my left hand. I started doing stuff like this in high school as I was big into basketball and was doing anything to get better with my left hand. Because of that, I still brush my teeth with my left hand. 🙃

I'm left handed and the only thing I do with my right hand is moving the mouse. 😁

Is it hard for you to use your right hand for moving the mouse?
Are there special mice for left handers?

I use a track pad at and at work, I have a magic mouse, both which work the same whichever hand you use.

marketplace.visualstudio.com/items... . Because I thought it was funny and I was told I wouldn't last a day using it. Once I'm through with the mistake, I'll go back to my trusty Material Theme (marketplace.visualstudio.com/items...)
