Which DEV theme & FONT do you use?

#discuss #watercooler

Let's have a chat :)

Theme: JUST BLACK
Font : JetBrains Mono

Confused right, share DEV as well as IDE configs 😄

Based on the title I thought you meant dev.to/settings/ux... I use "sans serif" font and default theme 😄

I don't like serif, btw. My eyes hurt.

What if serif is a sans serif font 😂😂🤣

At first it was DEV only, then I changed it intentionally 😂

Shall I answer it for dev(as mentioned in the topic) or for VSCode(as shown in the picture)?
Let's answer both. 😉

.dev {
    "background": Night theme;
    "font-family": Comic sans;
}
.vscode {
    "background": Hackpot;
    "font-family": Cascadia Code;
}

Loving Cartograph CF and have it in VSCode on my Mac on Texttastic on my iPad.

The italic styling is rather nice.

See marketplace.visualstudio.com/items... - the screenshots are made using Cartograph CF.

@stevegroom How did you set up the Cartography font in VS code? Can you share your font settings if possible, please??

Steve Groom • May 21 '22

In vscode, open settings.
Search for font
Scroll to Editor: Font Family
I have 'Cartograph CF', Menlo, Monaco, 'Courier New', monospace

Then further down - Editor: Font Ligatures - click through and set to true.

Create a new file and you can see the ligatures if you type character combinations such as
=<=> <= >=
-> --> >>- >= !=
~> := .= // /* */ /=
?. >-> =>> |>

They will visually be substituted, but remain as separate characters in the files (and clipboard).
