Customizing Theme in VS Code || VS Code Best Dark Theme🦄💫🦄

Most of the time we install many extensions which we don't need all of the time. And So many extensions at that time, we don't notice our software running much less smoothly. So we should minimize the extension as much as possible😓.

All those who are regular coders use some comfort-type theme extension for eye comfort. But if you want, you can easily change the theme of your VS Code according to your mind without any extension😉.

So let's see👀, how easily you can change the VS Code theme to your liking🕵️‍♀️.


  • Step one ➣ Open VS Code👍.
