A clean Visual Studio Code theme that celebrates the lights of Downtown Tokyo at night.

Note: Many UI elements are intentionally low contrast so as not to distract. I can provide customization settings similar to what is shown further down this page to anyone who needs specific text brightened.

Semantic Highlighting: If you prefer all variables inside functions to be the same color, disable semantic highlighting in settings. Otherwise, parameters used will be dimmer in color. Submit an issue if you notice anything 'off' with semantic highlighting as I've just recently provided support for it.

Disabling Italics

Paste this into your settings.json to disable italics.

"editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
    "[Tokyo Night]": { // or "[Tokyo Night Storm]"
        "textMateRules": [{
            "scope": [
                "comment",
                "meta.var.expr storage.type",
                "keyword.control.flow",
                "keyword.control.return",
                "meta.directive.vue punctuation.separator.key-value.html",

                "tag.decorator.js entity.name.tag.js",
                "tag.decorator.js punctuation.definition.tag.js",
                "storage.modifier"
            ],
            "settings": {
                "fontStyle": ""
            }
        }]
    }
}

Customization Settings Examples

Brightening Codelens text

I prefer my Codelens text fade into the background unless hovered over, but if you'd like a higher contrast, add this to your settings.json:

"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
    "[Tokyo Night]": { // or "[Tokyo Night Storm]"
        "editorCodeLens.foreground": "#7982a9", // Preferred hex color
    }
}

Window Active and Inactive borders (vscode 1.40.0)

macOS dark-mode doesn't play well with these two theme mods so I've chosen to darken them as much as I can to fix the gray border issue on my side. Set them however you like using:

"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
    "[Tokyo Night]": { // or "[Tokyo Night Storm]"
        "window.activeBorder": "#ff0000",
        "window.inactiveBorder":"#0000ff"
    }
}
