Consolas is a great font for Visual Studio development, designed by Luc(as) de Groot, for Microsoft’s ClearType font family. Consolas has proportions closer to normal text, which makes it more reader-friendly than many other monospaced fonts. Previously, VS Code menus and dialogs would show with the default light theme, even if macOS was running in dark theme. Now, all native UI elements will show with the Dark Mode if enabled.

I recently downloaded the VS code editor which is really nice.but the only problem I find in it is the color theme, I am use to monokai color theme like in sublime text and I can't find a way to editthe color theme or download a color theme there are only 2 options:

Visual Studio Code 0.9.0 and later

There's an official documentation on how to add a custom theme: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-docs/blob/0.9.0/release-notes/latest.md

You need a .tmtheme file for the themeyou want to add. You can find existing files e.g. on GitHub, ColorSublime or you can define your own theme file (for example with https://github.com/aziz/tmTheme-Editor).

After finding a .tmtheme file you have two ways to create an extension based on it.

Option 1: Using a Yeoman generator

  • Install node.js (if you haven't already done)
  • Install yo (if you haven't already done) by executing npm install -g yo
  • Install the Yo generator for code: npm install -g generator-code
  • Run yo code and select New Color Theme
  • Follow the instructions (define the .tmTheme file, theme name, ui theme etc.)
  • The generator creates a directory for your extension with the name of the theme in your current working directory.

Option 2: Create the directory on your own

  • Create a directory with the name of your plugin (only lowercase letters). Let's say we call it mytheme.
  • Add a subfolder themes and place the .tmTheme file inside of it

  • Create a file package.json inside the root of the extension folder with content like this

Finally add your extension to Visual Studio Code

Copy the extension folder to the extension directory. This is:

  • on Windows%USERPROFILE%.vscodeextensions

  • on Mac/Linux$HOME/.vscode/extensions

Restart VSCode and select the new theme in File -> Preferences -> Color Theme

Visual Studio Code 0.8.0

It's possible to add new themes in Visual Studio Code 0.8.0 (released for insiders on 2015-08-31 [become an insider: https://www.instant.ly/s/Y5nt1/nav#p/186a0]).

After installing VSCode 0.8.0 or higher do this to apply your own theme:

  1. Download a .tmTheme file or create your own (for example with https://github.com/aziz/tmTheme-Editor)
  2. Copy the .tmTheme file to %CODEFOLDER%/resources/app/plugins/vs.theme.starterkit/themes

  3. Register the .tmTheme file in %CODEFOLDER%/resources/app/plugins/vs.theme.starterkit/ticino.plugin.json by adding an entry for it like this:

  4. Restart VSCode and select the new theme in File -> Preferences -> Color Theme

I found that the file - resources/app/client/vs/monaco/ui/workbench/native/native.main.css - is also the right place for changing how fonts are renderer. I was trying to figure out how to disable font smoothing on OS X and found that you can do it here by adding this CSS rule in the file -
