VScode themes: Visual Studio Code is a free IDE built for developing and debugging web applications. It has integrated Git control & terminal. It has a very large plugin system that probably rivals the Sublime quality and surpasses it for web language.

I'm using Windows 7 64-bit.
- During Evolve 2016, Xamarin released Xamarin Studio (XS) for Mac as a Release Candidate. This release of XS provides more goodness like Visual Studio on Mac. Let's see some of the features that are available in this release. Dark Theme For people like me, who work late at night, this is a boon.
- This plugin aims to provide a quality dark theme for Crunchyroll.com. This is primarily because dark themes are easier on the eye when in a darker environment.
Is there a way to edit default dark theme in the Visual Studio Code? In %USERPROFILE%.vscode folder there are only themes from the extensions, while in installation path (I used default, C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft VS Code) there are files of some standard themes in resourcesappextensions, like Kimbie Dark, Solarized Dark/Light or variants of Monokai, but there is no default dark theme.
But if after all there is a possibility to edit it, then which blocks of code are responsible for colour of member of object, member of pointer and name of class and structure in the C++ language?

The file you are looking for is at,
Microsoft VS Coderesourcesappextensionstheme-defaultsthemes
on Windows and search for file name
dark_vs.json
to locate it on any other system.paarandikapaarandika
In VS code 'User Settings', you can edit visible colours using the following tags(this is a sample and there are much more tags),
If you want to edit some C++ color tokens, use the following tag,

As far as the themes, VS Code is every bit as editable as Sublime. You can edit any of the default themes that come with VS code. You just have to know where to find the theme files.
Side note: I love the Monokai theme. However, all I wanted to change about it was the background. I don't like the dark grayish background. Instead, I think the contrast is WAY better with a solid black background. The code pops out much more.
Anyways, I hunted for the theme file and found it (in windows) at:
c:Program Files (x86)Microsoft VS Coderesourcesappextensionstheme-monokaithemes
In that folder I found the Monokai.tmTheme file and modified the first background key as follows:
There are a few 'background' key in the theme file, make sure you edit the correct one. The one I edited was at the very top. Line 12 I think.

You cannot 'edit' a default theme, they are 'locked in'
However, you can copy it into your own custom theme, with the exact modifications you'd like.
For more info, see these articles: https://code.visualstudio.com/Docs/customization/themeshttps://code.visualstudio.com/docs/extensions/install-extension#_your-extensions-folder
If all you want to change is the colors for C++ code, you should look at overwriting the c++ support colorizer. For info about that, go here: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/customization/colorizer
EDIT: The dark theme is found here: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/tree/80f8000c10b4234c7b027dccfd627442623902d2/extensions/theme-colorful-defaults
EDIT2: To clarify:
- download this file: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/blob/80f8000c10b4234c7b027dccfd627442623902d2/extensions/theme-colorful-defaults/themes/dark_plus.tmTheme
- Modify however you like
- Generate a theme using Yo Code https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/tools/yocode
- Copy that theme into your extension folder. Or, if you feel like sharing, publish it on the VS Code marketplace.

As others have stated, you'll need to override the
editor.tokenColorCustomizations
or the workbench.colorCustomizations
setting in the settings.json file. Here you can choose a base theme, like Abyss, and only override the things you want to change. You can either override very few things like the function, string colors etc. very easily. E.g. for
workbench.colorCustomizations
E.g. for
editor.tokenColorCustomizations
:However, deep customisations like change the colour of the
var
keyword will require you to provide the override values under the textMateRules
key. E.g. below:
You can also override globally across themes:
