About

This project is an attempt to make theming Vs Code easier and more approachable. One should be able to get a general idea of the uses of each color from the description and for more in depth information, a list of all tags and scopes to which each color is applied are supplied. The basic structure of this theme is largely inspired by the ever popular Dracula theme, with some modifications. And for braver users, there are plenty of advanced colors you can set to truly trick out your theme. If there is a scope or tag you'd like to more easily target, just let me know and I'll add it as an advanced color.

Some basic info about VS Code themes:
There are primarily two ways you can change colors in VS Code. You can either add them to your settings.json or you can create a completely new theme with the json file you download on theme generation. If you end up publishing a theme that you generated here, I'd really appreciate a shoutout! Here's the documentation on theme generation

VS Code splits its keys into two groups: tags and scopes.

Tags generally set colors for everything other than explicitly code related colors. Scopes are for code specific colors. You'll find a list of scopes and tags associated with each color you can set. Also, if you know what scope or tag you want to change or want to change the color of something specific, but don't know what color set it is associated with, just search it!
