In this article, I’ll be sharing my VS-Code Setup with you. It includes the theme and Icons that use and Extensions (this is very important).
🎨Theme
I switch between themes.
Most of the Time I use Andromeda as my primary theme for VS Code but sometimes I switch to C/C++ theme.
Andromeda Theme
C/C++ Theme
🪟Icons
For Icons, I sometimes switch between Fluent Icons Theme
and vscode icons.
Now let’s dive into the best part, there are a lot of extensions I mention only my favorite or the one that I use mostly every day. Anyway, let’s start from A to Z.
