Here are eight rad VSCode themes you can start using today:

# 1. <a href="https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=RobbOwen.synthwave-vscode">Synthwave '84</a>

# 2. <a href="https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=johnpapa.winteriscoming">Winter is Coming</a>

This theme was inspired by the themes Visual Studio Dark+, Monokai, and Dustin Sander’s theme for “An Old Hope”. Custom CSS inspired by Wes Bos.

The blue background for the Dark theme was inspired by Sarah Drasner’s Night Owl theme which we will see later on in this blog.

# 5. <a href="https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=sdras.night-owl">Night Owl</a>

Night Owl is a Visual Studio Code theme for the night owls out there. Fine-tuned for those of us who like to code late into the night.

Color choices have taken into consideration what is accessible to people with colorblindness and in low-light circumstances. Decisions were also based on meaningful contrast for reading comprehension and for optimal razzle-dazzle.
