Light Theme

What's this?

I wanted the familiar Visual Studio color scheme in VS Code, so I made this. It's pretty close to the real thing.

Includes:

• Light theme
• Dark theme
• Syntax highlighting for C#, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, HTML, CSS, JSON, etc.
• UI colors matching Visual Studio

Install

Search for "Visual Studio Theme Standard" in VS Code extensions, or install manually by copying to your .vscode/extensions folder.

Use

Cmd+Shift+P (or Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows/Linux) → type "color theme" → pick Visual Studio Standard Light or Dark.

Bracket colors

The theme uses single-color brackets by default (like Visual Studio). If you want rainbow brackets, add this to your settings:

{
  "workbench.colorCustomizations": {
    "[Visual Studio Standard Dark]": {
      "editorBracketHighlight.foreground1": "#FFD700",
      "editorBracketHighlight.foreground2": "#DA70D6",
      "editorBracketHighlight.foreground3": "#87CEFA"
    }
  }
}

Or disable them: "editor.bracketPairColorization.enabled": false
