I used to customize everything, and usually went with Solarized Dark. But I started using VS Code a couple of years ago, and its dark mode (Dark+) has been really nice. I use it for perl, elixir, and bash.

I was a Gruvbox guy for quite a while.

I found Everforest a few months ago and really like it: https://github.com/sainnhe/everforest

Um… The default color scheme? Unless some color is not designed to be be readable on my background, in which case I customize it and turn off the colorization for that text category.

I mean, I don’t really care about colors in my editor, but I don’t want to be like those people who get all huffy and turn off all colors just because. But I do need to be able to read the text, so I occasionally change it.

I’m using the Dark+ theme built into VS Code, because I maintain several extensions with syntax highlighting. My priority is that the extensions look good with the defaults, and dogfooding is one way to achieve that.

Loved Monokai in Sublime Text, carried that over with Visual Studio Code.

I'm currently a happy Gruvbox 'customer'. If I may ask, what make you switch to Everforest?
