VS Code terminal themes

VS Code runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows. All 2037 color schemes export directly to VS Code—open any scheme below and the export panel preselects VS Code

Platforms
macOS, Linux, and Windows

Open any scheme for an interactive terminal preview with the VS Code config tab preselected

Install a color scheme in VS Code

  1. Open any scheme page—the export panel preselects VS Code so you can copy or download the config
  2. Merge into user settings.json (Command Palette → Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON))
  3. Reload your configuration or restart VS Code

Download from the command line

VS Code does not use a standalone theme folder; merge the color settings into your existing config file as shown above

Example config: Catppuccin Mocha (VS Code)

settings.json

// Theme: Catppuccin Mocha (VS Code terminal)
// Preview & customize online: https://tintdex.afengim.com/en/schemes/catppuccin-mocha?format=vscode
