🎨 I Created My First VS Code Theme, Introducing VoidCore

After spending countless late nights writing code, I realized I wanted a VS Code theme that felt more... me.

Minimal. Futuristic. High contrast. Deep focus mode.

So I built it.

VoidCore Preview


🧠 Meet VoidCore

VoidCore is a sleek, minimal, high contrast, neon accented dark theme for Visual Studio Code designed for those who love distraction free coding sessions and a clean, dev core aesthetic.

🖤 Pure dark background

⚡️ Subtle glow on syntax

🎯 Designed for JavaScript, Python, C++, HTML/CSS, Markdown, and more


🚀 Live on the Marketplace

Here’s how VoidCore looks in action:

You can now install VoidCore directly from VS Code Extensions tab:

Or visit the listing here:

🔗 VoidCore Theme on Visual Studio Marketplace
🔗 GitHub Repository
Feel free to star the repo or explore the source code!


💡 Why I Made It

Every theme I tried was either too loud, too colorful, or just didn’t hit that focus zone I was looking for.

So instead of switching between 5 themes daily, I decided to make one that’s just right and open source it.


🛠️ Built With

  • VSCE (Visual Studio Code Extension CLI)

  • JSON-based theming API

  • GitHub for versioning + releases

  • A lot of tweaking and previewing in live editors 😄


🧩 What's Next?

  • Maybe a light variant?

  • A dedicated landing page for VoidCore

  • Open to feedback or pull requests!


If you try it, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
And if you're building your own theme feel free to reach out. Happy to share what I learned.


Thanks for reading.
Let’s build tools that help devs stay in flow.
