✔ A complete port of the default Visual Studio Code Dark+ theme for Emacs

This theme aims to be as identical as possible to the default Dark+ color scheme used by Visual Studio Code. To see the original Visual Studio Code by Microsoft in action, consider this YouTube video.

If you find any inconsistency between Visual Studio Code's Dark+ and my port, please file an issue and I'll try my best to fix it.

vscode-dark-plus-theme is now on MELPA as a package (as of 8. June. 2020)! An example use-package declaration:

(use-package vscode-dark-plus-theme
  :ensure t
  :config
  (load-theme 'vscode-dark-plus t))

Download vscode-dark-plus-theme.el and put it under ~/.emacs.d/themes/ (or ~/.config/emacs/themes/), then add these lines to your init.el:

(add-to-list 'custom-theme-load-path "~/.emacs.d/themes/")
; or
(add-to-list 'custom-theme-load-path "~/.config/emacs/themes/")
(load-theme 'vscode-dark-plus t)

You can set a few options to customize some of the faces.

;; Remove the border around the TODO word on org-mode files
(setq vscode-dark-plus-box-org-todo nil)
;; Do not set different heights for some org faces
(setq vscode-dark-plus-scale-org-faces nil)
;; Avoid inverting hl-todo face
(setq vscode-dark-plus-invert-hl-todo nil)
;; Configure current line highlighting style (works best with Emacs 28 or newer)
(setq vscode-dark-plus-render-line-highlight 'line)

The following snippet turns on solaire-mode support.

(use-package solaire-mode
  :ensure t
  :config
  (solaire-global-mode +1))
(use-package vscode-dark-plus-theme
  :ensure t
  :config
  (load-theme 'vscode-dark-plus t))
