Themes are just one customization you can make. There are many more!
Go to Preferences ➤ Settings (also reachable via cmd ,) to see them:
Everything is highly configurable, and it’s sometimes hard to make sense of it all.
Some nice configuration options I set in my VS Code:
- Workbench › Side Bar: Location “right”
- Editor › Minimap: Enabled: false
- Explorer: Confirm Delete: false
- Explorer: Confirm Drag And Drop: false
- Files: Trim Trailing Whitespace: true
- Editor: Quick Suggestions Delay: 0
You can experiment and read about VS Code a lot. Everyone has different preferences.
This is also the place where you can change the editor font.
I like the DM Mono font. Fira Code is cool too. It’s free, and has some very nice programming ligatures, which transform common constructs like !== and => into nicer symbols.
Enable it by installing the font on your computer and then set the Editor: Font Family preference.

answer on StackOverflow to fix your problems?
Your coworkers are tired of explaining Git to
you all the time? Git is something we all need
to use, but few of us really master it. I
created this course to improve your Git (and
GitHub) knowledge at a radical level. Launching
