I used Gruvbox in the past too! But a few weeks ago I discovered Nord theme and I really like it, I use it for my system color palette, but also has VS Code support.

I really like the Nord Theme Color palette, but its just too one-tone for me if you know what I mean. I feel like the colors are all the same to me after a while which will work bad on my concentration. Thank you for taking your time to respond, appreciate it alot.

Much love,

I totally agree with you. I tried a lot of themes but "Nord" took my heart.
It has optimal colors for me.

Not a VS Coder, but figured I'd pop in to show my Emacs themes. I use the modus themes.

A pair of highly accessible themes that conform with the WCAG AAA standard for colour contrast between background and foreground combinations (a minimum contrast of 7:1---the highest standard of its kind).

Modus Operandi Theme with Treesitter Parsing

Modus Vivendi Theme with Treesitter Parsing

The page pictured is the org-mode version of my recent DEV post. (I write in org-mode and export to my blog which I then use DEV's RSS feed import to publish to DEV.)

I even use the color scheme for my blog.

lovely! I can't remember of the top of my head , but are the modus themes included with (GNU) emacs?

Yes. Modus themes are part of (GNU) Emacs. Though I use a package manager to get more recent updates.

Monokai. I've used it for so long that anything else feels wrong. 😅

Additionally I use "Carbon Product Icons"for the ui icons, and "Material Icon Theme" for the file icons.

I have tried many themes for VS Code, but the only thing that stands the most is the One Dark Pro.

with its multi multi color support, its very easy to read codes. After using it, I will always use it till the end.

Solarized (Dark) all the way. I've used it for about 8 years now for everything. I've tried a few others, many of the ones listed here...but over time they either feel too monotone or, the ones with bright and vibrant colors cause too much eye strain. Solarized is perfect for long programming stretches IMO.

Rose Pine is my favorite. I use it for Hyper Terminal and Windows Terminal as well.

If you want more minimal I would recommend poimandres which is the other one I use if I need a switch from Rose Pine.
