๐ŸŽจ 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


๐Ÿง  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.

๐Ÿ–ค Pure dark background

โšก๏ธ Subtle glow on syntax

๐ŸŽฏ Designed for JavaScript, Python, C++, HTML/CSS, Markdown, and more


๐Ÿš€ Live on the Marketplace

Hereโ€™s how VoidCore looks in action:

Preview 3

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

Or visit the listing here:

๐Ÿ”— VoidCore Theme on Visual Studio Marketplace
๐Ÿ”— GitHub Repository
Feel free to star the repo or explore the source code!


๐Ÿ’ก Why I Made It

Every theme I tried was either too loud, too colorful, or just didnโ€™t hit that focus zone I was looking for.

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


๐Ÿ› ๏ธ 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 ๐Ÿ˜„


๐Ÿงฉ What's Next?

  • Maybe a light variant?

  • A dedicated landing page for VoidCore

  • Open to feedback or pull requests!


If you try it, Iโ€™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.
Letโ€™s build tools that help devs stay in flow.

๐Ÿ–ค
Pranav
