About dark-plus-syntax
dark-plus-syntax
Why
I really like VS Code's "Dark+ (default dark)" color theme. Unfortunately, it's unrealistic to expect the maintainers to support:
• The vast number of languages with which Visual Studio Code is used • Visual Studio Code's ever-expanding catalog of extensions
So I made a theme that does.
Supported Languages
• C# • C/C++ • Crystal • CSS • SCSS • Stylus • Elixir • Erlang • Go • Haskell • HTML • ECR/EEX/EJS/ERB • Handlebars • Jinja2 • Pug/Jade • Twig • Liquid • CFML • Java • JavaScript • TypeScript • JSX • TSX • Markdown • Protocol Buffers • Python • Ruby • Vagrant • Cucumber (Gherkin) • Rust • Swift • Misc. • CMake • CSV/TSV • GraphQL • Makefile • NGINX • Terraform • JSON • TOML • YAML
If this theme doesn't support a certain language or extension that you use, feel free to open an issue and I'll look into it.
Please use one of the issue templates.
Italic Comments & Overrides
