What VSCode theme do you use?
I’m working on VSCode ElixirLs syntax highlighting, and different themes support different syntax definitions. So I am curious about which themes are the most popular/widespread.

I’m also curious if people add manual customization of their chosen theme.

Dark+ (Elixir), which does a much better job than the default Dark+ for elixir files, and behaves the same as Dark+ for everything else: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=kkalita.dark-plus-elixir

Synthwave vs Flouromachine.
Because life’s too short to not code at 4am listening to agressive Synthwave while trying to remember the GenServer API.

For some reason I can’t stand anything other than One Dark Pro (which comes from Atom).
I keep trying other dark themes but always come back.

If you run Ctrl+Shift+P: “Developer: Inspect TM Scopes” you can see what scopes are defined on each piece of syntax in the file:
So we have comment.documentation.heredoc.elixir, comment.documentation.string, and comment.line.number-sign.elixir.
So if we want to change the documentation comments back to their default style (for the Default Dark+ theme) we can add this to our settings.json:
{
"editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
"comments": {
"foreground": "#FF0000",
"fontStyle": "bold"
},
"textMateRules": [
{
"scope": "comment.documentation",
"settings": {
"foreground": "#6A9955",
"fontStyle": ""
}
}
]
}
}
Now this looks like:
And if you wanted to target specifically single-line or multi-line documentation you could target comment.documentation.heredoc or comment.documentation.string instead of just comment.documentation.
