There is a themes converter that can take any Visual Studio Code theme and bring it to Visual Studio 2022:
- https://github.com/microsoft/theme-converter-for-vs
It's not just click and install, you actually need to use it with Visual Studio to prepare a VSIX extension, but it's just a few minutes of work and it's well documented.
In VS code 'User Settings', you can edit visible colours using the following tags (this is a sample and there are much more tags):
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
"list.inactiveSelectionBackground": "#C5DEF0",
"sideBar.background": "#F8F6F6",
"sideBar.foreground": "#000000",
"editor.background": "#FFFFFF",
"editor.foreground": "#000000",
"sideBarSectionHeader.background": "#CAC9C9",
"sideBarSectionHeader.foreground": "#000000",
"activityBar.border": "#FFFFFF",
"statusBar.background": "#102F97",
"scrollbarSlider.activeBackground": "#77D4CB",
"scrollbarSlider.hoverBackground": "#8CE6DA",
"badge.background": "#81CA91"
}
If you want to edit some C++ color tokens, use the following tag:
"editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
"numbers": "#2247EB",
"comments": "#6D929C",
"functions": "#0D7C28"
}
The file you are looking for is at,
Microsoft VS Code\resources\app\extensions\theme-defaults\themes
on Windows and search for filename dark_vs.json to locate it on any other system.
Update:
With new versions of VSCode you don't need to hunt for the settings file to customize the theme. Now you can customize your color theme with the workbench.colorCustomizations and editor.tokenColorCustomizations user settings. Documentation on the matter can be found here.
