Color Themes
Color themes let you modify the colors in Visual Studio Code’s user interface to suit your preferences and work environment.
Selecting the Color Theme
- In VS Code, open the Color Theme picker with File > Preferences > Theme > Color Theme. (Code > Preferences > Theme > Color Theme on macOS).
- You can also use the keyboard shortcut ⌘K ⌘T (Windows, Linux Ctrl+K Ctrl+T ) to display the picker.
- Use the cursor keys to preview the colors of the theme.
- Select the theme you want and press Enter .
The active color theme is stored in your user settings (keyboard shortcut ⌘, (Windows, Linux Ctrl+, ) ).
Tip: By default, the theme is stored in your user settings and applies globally to all workspaces. You can also configure a workspace specific theme. To do so, set a theme in the Workspace settings.
Color Themes from the Marketplace
There are several out-of-the-box color themes in VS Code for you to try.
Many more themes have been uploaded to the VS Code Extension Marketplace by the community. If you find one you want to use, install it and restart VS Code and the new theme will be available.
You can search for themes in the Extensions view ( ⇧⌘X (Windows, Linux Ctrl+Shift+X ) ) search box using the @category:"themes" filter.
Auto switch based on OS color scheme
Windows and macOS support light and dark color schemes. There is a setting, window.autoDetectColorScheme , that instructs VS Code to listen to changes to the OS’s color scheme and switch to a matching theme accordingly.
To customize the themes that are used when a color scheme changes, you can set the preferred light, dark, and high contrast themes with the settings:
- workbench.preferredLightColorTheme — defaults to "Default Light+"
- workbench.preferredDarkColorTheme — defaults to "Default Dark+"
- workbench.preferredHighContrastColorTheme — defaults to "Default High Contrast"
- workbench.preferredHighContrastLightColorTheme — defaults to "Default High Contrast Light"
Customizing a Color Theme
Workbench colors
You can customize your active color theme with the workbench.colorCustomizations and editor.tokenColorCustomizations user settings.
To set the colors of VS Code UI elements such as list & trees (File Explorer, suggestions widget), diff editor, Activity Bar, notifications, scroll bar, split view, buttons, and more, use workbench.colorCustomizations .
You can use IntelliSense while setting workbench.colorCustomizations values or, for a list of all customizable colors, see the Theme Color Reference.
To customize a specific theme only, use the following syntax:
If a customization applies to more than one themes, you can name multiple themes or use * as wildcard at the beginning and the end of the name:
Editor syntax highlighting
To tune the editor’s syntax highlighting colors, use editor.tokenColorCustomizations in your user settings settings.json file:
A pre-configured set of syntax tokens (‘comments’, ‘strings’, . ) is available for the most common constructs. If you want more, you can do so by directly specifying TextMate theme color rules:
Note: Directly configuring TextMate rules is an advanced skill as you need to understand on how TextMate grammars work. Go to the Color Theme guide for more information.
Again, to customize specific themes, you can do this in one of the following ways:
Editor semantic highlighting
Some languages (currently: TypeScript, JavaScript, Java) provide semantic tokens. Semantic tokens are based on the language service’s symbol understanding and are more accurate than the syntax tokens coming from the TextMate grammars that are driven by regular expressions. The semantic highlighting that is computed from the semantic tokens goes on top of syntax highlighting and can correct and enrich the highlighting as seen in the following example:
The "Tomorrow Night Blue" color theme without semantic highlighting:
The "Tomorrow Night Blue" color theme with semantic highlighting:
Notice the color differences based on language service symbol understanding:
- line 10: languageModes is colored as a parameter.
- line 11: Range and Position are colored as classes and document as a parameter.
- line 13: getFoldingRanges is colored as a function.
The settings editor.semanticHighlighting.enabled serves as the main control on whether semantic highlighting is applied. It can have values true , false , and configuredByTheme .
- true and false turn semantic highlighting on or off for all themes.
- configuredByTheme is the default and lets each theme control whether semantic highlighting is enabled or not. All the themes that ship with VS Code (for example, the "Dark+" default) have semantic highlighting enabled by default.
Users can override the theme setting by:
When semantic highlighting is enabled and available for a language, it is up to the theme to configure whether and how semantic tokens are colored. Some semantic tokens are standardized and map to well-established TextMate scopes. If the theme has a coloring rule for these TextMate scopes, the semantic token will be rendered with that color, without the need for any additional coloring rules.
Additional styling rules can be configured by the user in editor.semanticTokenColorCustomizations" :
To see what semantic tokens are computed and how they are styled, users can use the scope inspector (Developer: Inspect Editor Tokens and Scopes), which displays information for the text at the current cursor position.
If semantic tokens are available for the language at the given position and enabled by theme, the inspect tool shows a section semantic token type . The section shows the semantic token information (type and any number of modifiers) as well as the styling rules that apply.
More information on semantic tokens and styling rule syntax can be found in the Semantic Highlighting Guide.
Creating your own Color Theme
Creating and publishing a theme extension is easy. Customize your colors in your user settings then generate a theme definition file with the Developer: Generate Color Theme From Current Settings command.
VS Code’s Yeoman extension generator will help you generate the rest of the extension.
See the Create a new Color Theme topic in our Extension API section to learn more.
Remove default Color Themes
If you’d like to remove some of the default themes shipped with VS Code from the Color Theme picker, you can disable them from the Extensions view ( ⇧⌘X (Windows, Linux Ctrl+Shift+X ) ). Click the Filter Extensions button from the top of the Extensions view, select the Built-in option, and you’ll see a THEMES section listing the default themes.
You can disable a built-in theme extension as you would any other VS Code extension with the Disable command on the gear context menu.
File Icon Themes
File icon themes can be contributed by extensions and selected by users as their favorite set of file icons. File icons are shown in the File Explorer and tabbed headings.
Selecting the File Icon Theme
- In VS Code, open the File Icon Theme picker with File > Preferences > Theme > File Icon Theme. (Code > Preferences > Theme > File Icon Theme on macOS).
- You can also use the Preferences: File Icon Theme command from the Command Palette ( ⇧⌘P (Windows, Linux Ctrl+Shift+P ) ).
- Use the cursor keys to preview the icons of the theme.
- Select the theme you want and hit Enter .
By default, the Seti file icon set is used and those are the icons you see in the File Explorer. Once a file icon theme is selected, the selected theme will be remembered and appear again whenever VS Code is restarted. You can disable file icons by selecting None.
VS code ships with two file icon themes; Minimal and Seti. To install more file icon themes, select the Install Additional File Icon Themes item in the file icon theme picker and you’ll see a query for file icon themes (tag:icon-theme) in the Extensions view.
You can also browse the VS Code Marketplace site directly to find available themes.
The active File Icon theme is persisted in your user settings (keyboard shortcut ⌘, (Windows, Linux Ctrl+, ) ).
Creating your own File Icon Theme
You can create your own File Icon Theme from icons (preferably SVG), see the File Icon Theme topic in our Extension API section for details.
Next steps
Themes are just one way to customize VS Code. If you’d like to learn more about VS Code customization and extensibility, try these topics:
Built-in Themes
There are 4 themes built-in in Visual Studio (Light, Dark, Blue, Blue (Extra Contrast)). You can change the theme under Tools > Options > Environment-General.
And under Tools > Options > Environment-Fonts and Colors you can change the font of the code editor and the colors for different texts (e.g. plain text, selected text).
Studiostyl.es
When you don’t want to set all the colors manually you can to go on Studiostyl.es where you can get complete themes for free. Currently (Apr 2019), you can find over 4800 free themes there.
- Find a theme that you like
- Click on it — you can see some examples of the theme applied to different programming languages, HTML, etc.
- Select your Visual Studio version — when you have a version newer than 2015, select Visual Studio 2015)
- Download the scheme — you get a .vssettings file
In Visual Studio:
- Tools > Import and Export Settings
- Import selected environment settings > Next
- No, just import new settings, overwriting my current settings > Next
- Browse and select the downloaded .vssettings file > Select the theme from the treeview >Next
- Select Fonts and Colors — the settings file should not contain more than fonts and colors > Finish > Close
Another tip is to set the build in Visual Studio theme to Dark. Because most of the themes on Studiostyl.es are made for the dark theme. You can do this after importing or before importing the .vssettings file.
Create a Custom Theme
When you can not find a theme that you like you can easily create your own themes or edit an existing theme with the Scheme Editor. The instructions on how to use the editor are provided on top of the page.
Reset to Default Theme
- Tools > Import and Export Settings
- Import selected environment settings > Next
- No, just import new settings, overwriting my current settings > Next
- Select Default Settings-General > Next
- Uncheck All Settings > Select All Settings-Options-#101-Fonts and Colors > Finish > Close
The theme in the thumbnail of this post is the Son of Obsidian theme.

How to: Change fonts, colors, and themes in Visual Studio
You can change the fonts and the colors in Visual Studio in several ways. For example, you can change the default dark theme (also referred to as «dark mode») to a light theme, a blue theme, an extra-contrast theme, or a theme that matches your system settings. You can also change the default font and text size in both the IDE and the code editor.
[!TIP] See the We’ve upgraded the UI in Visual Studio 2022 blog post to learn more about the subtle color contrast ratio adjustments and a new Cascadia Code font we’ve added to make Visual Studio more accessible for everyone.
You can change the fonts and the colors in Visual Studio in many ways. For example, you can change the default blue color theme to the dark theme (also referred to as «dark mode»). You can also select an extra-contrast theme if that best suits your needs. And, you can change the default font and text size in both the IDE and the code editor.

For more information about how to change fonts and colors for accessibility, see the Set accessibility options section of this page. And, for details about all the user interface (UI) elements where you can change font and color schemes, see the Fonts and Colors, Environment, Options Dialog Box page.
Set language-specific editor options
You can make a variety of changes to the code editor to suit your programming language of choice. For example, you can change brace formatting in C# to appear inline or on a new line, and more. To learn how to customize the code editor, see Set language-specific editor options.
Set accessibility options
In a neurodiverse world, we want to support our different learners and low-vision users by offering the following font options and color themes:
- You can use the Cascadia Code font, which adds more weight to the proportions of letters, numerals, and characters to help disambiguate them. Cascadia Code also includes coding ligatures.
- You can choose to use a high-contrast color theme for all the apps and UI on a computer, or an extra-contrast color theme for Visual Studio only.
Use the Cascadia Code font
The new Cascadia Code font includes Cascade Mono, which is the default font in Visual Studio 2022. Not only are both of these fonts easier to read, but the Cascadia Code font also includes coding ligatures that turn a sequence of characters into a glyph. Coding ligatures, or glyphs, make it easier for people to cognitively associate the meaning behind them.
The following screenshot shows an example of the default Cascadia Mono font and lists a series of characters, to include mathematical symbols, that you might find yourself using while you code.
. image type=»content» source=»media/vs-2022/cascadia-mono-font.png» alt-text=»Screenshot of an example of the Cascadia Mono font in the Editor.».
The following screenshot shows an example of the Cascadia Code font, where the same series of characters shown previously are now converted to coding ligatures, or glyphs.
. image type=»content» source=»media/vs-2022/cascadia-code-font.png» alt-text=»Screenshot of an example of the Cascadia Code font in the Editor.».
Notice that the last line of text in the Cascadia Code screenshot shows how the space between duplicate characters is reduced, which also makes them easier to read.
Here’s how to toggle between the Cascadia fonts:
Go to Tools > Options > Environment > Fonts and colors.
From the Font dropdown list, select either the Cascadia Code font or the Cascadia Mono font you want, and then select OK.
. image type=»content» source=»media/vs-2022/cascadia-font-options.png» alt-text=»Screenshot of the Cascadia fonts available from the Options dialog box.».
There are color theme options for you if you experience low vision. You can use a high-contrast option for all the apps and UI on a computer, or an extra contrast option for Visual Studio only.
Use Windows high contrast
Use either of the following procedures to toggle the Windows high contrast option:
In Windows or in any Microsoft application, press the Left Alt+Left Shift+PrtScn keys.
In Windows, choose Start > Settings > Ease of Access. Then, under the Vision section in Windows 10 and later, choose High contrast.
[!WARNING] The Windows high contrast setting affects all applications and UI on the computer.
Use Visual Studio extra contrast
Use the following procedures to toggle the Visual Studio extra contrast option:
On the menu bar in Visual Studio, choose Tools > Options, and then, in the options list, choose Environment > General.
In the Color theme drop-down list, choose the Blue (Extra Contrast) theme, and then choose OK.
[!TIP] If there is an accessibility option for colors or fonts that you think might be useful but isn’t currently available in Visual Studio, please let us know by selecting Suggest a feature in the Visual Studio Developer Community. For more information about this forum and how it works, see the Suggest a feature page.
More accessibility features in Visual Studio
Visual Studio also includes features to help people who have limited dexterity to write. For example, Visual Studio supports Dvorak keyboard layouts, which make the most frequently typed characters more accessible.
You can also customize the default keyboard shortcuts available with Visual Studio. For more information, see the following pages:
Visual Studio also includes auto-completion for methods and parameters; for more information, see IntelliSense in Visual Studio.
There are more ways to customize Visual Studio to be more accessible to you. For example, you can change the behavior of pop-up windows, text-based tool windows, toolbar buttons, margin indicators, and more.
[!NOTE] The dialog boxes and menu commands you see might differ from those described here, which can vary depending on your active settings or edition. To change your settings, choose Import and Export Settings on the Tools menu. For more information, see Reset settings.
Change the behavior of pop-up windows
Visual Studio displays pop-up windows in the editor. These pop-up windows include information that makes coding easier, such as parameters to complete a function or statement. The pop-up windows can also be helpful if you have difficulty typing. However, some users might find that they interfere with focus in the code editor, which can be problematic.
Here’s how to turn off the pop-up windows:
From the Tools menu, choose Options.
Choose Text Editor > All Languages > General.
Clear the Auto list members and Parameter information checkboxes.
You can rearrange the windows in the integrated development environment (IDE) to best suit the way you work. You can dock, float, hide, or automatically hide each tool window. For more information about how to change window layouts, see Customize window layouts.
Change the settings of text-based tool windows
You can change the settings for text-based tool windows, such as the Command window, Immediate window, and Output window by using Tools > Options > Environment > Fonts and Colors.
When you select [All Text Tool Windows] in the Show settings for drop-down list, the default setting is listed as Default in the Item foreground and Item background drop-down lists. Choose the Custom button to change these settings.
You can also change the settings for how text is displayed in the editor. Here’s how.
From the Tools menu, choose Options.
Choose Environment > Fonts and Colors.
Select an option on the Show settings for drop-down menu.
To change the font size for text in an editor, choose Text Editor.
To change the font size for text in text-based tool windows, choose [All Text Tool Windows].
To change the font size for ToolTip text in an editor, choose Editor Tooltip.
To change the font size for text in statement completion pop-ups, choose Statement Completion.
From Display items, select Plain Text.
In Font, select a new font type.
In Size, select a new font size.
[!TIP] To reset the text size for text-based tool windows and editors, choose Use Defaults.
Choose OK.
Change the colors for text, margin indicators, white space, and code elements
You can choose to change the default colors for text, margin indicators, white space, and code elements in the editor. Here’s how.
From the Tools menu, choose Options.
In the Environment folder, choose Fonts and Colors.
In Show settings for, choose Text Editor.
From Display items, select an item whose display you need to change, such as Plain Text, Indicator Margin, Visible White Space, HTML Attribute Name, or XML Attribute.
Select display settings from the following options: Item foreground, Item background, and Bold.
Choose OK.
[!TIP] To use high contrast colors for all application windows on your operating system, press Left Alt+Left Shift+PrtScn. If Visual Studio is open, close and then reopen it to fully implement high contrast colors.
Add text to toolbar buttons or modify the text
To improve toolbar usability and accessibility, you can add text to toolbar buttons.
To assign text to toolbar buttons
From the Tools menu, choose Customize.
In the Customize dialog box, select the Commands tab.
