Darker+ theme for VSCode

The default Dark+ theme with a darker background.

Make it your own!

One of the points of a separate theme is that you can target it in settings.json. For example, for true blacks, you can do this:

{
  "workbench.colorCustomizations": {
    "[Darker+]": {
      "editor.background": "#000000",
      "sideBar.background": "#000000"
    }
  }
}

You can then switch between Dark+ and Darker+ easily.

Praise for Dark+

I like Dark+ very much: it not only looks good but also doesn't suffer from many usability issues so common in 3rd party themes, like low contrasts in "edge cases" like diffs, weird colors for selection, etc.

If you wanted to modify Dark+ directly, this would have the same effect as using this theme:

{
  "workbench.colorCustomizations": {
    "[Default Dark+]": {
      "editor.background": "#151515",
      "sideBar.background": "#202020"
    }
  }
}

However, you might find it useful to be able to switch between Dark+ and Darker+, say for day- and night-time coding.
