The default Visual Studio Code theme is pretty darn good. But you sometimes want some small tweaks. Here some basic Visual Studio Code Changes that I like. You can use them or tweak them to your liking.

Hiding unnecessary elements

I hid several elements in the editor. Stuff I do not use. Inlike Jeffrey Ways I did not make it too spartan, but I did make it a little cleaner. Here is what I hid:

• minimaps,
• status bar
• open editors in the sidebar

Color Tweaks

I also change the active tab or window as the default theme is not clear to me.  I made it blueish. Might change it later, but this is the choice I will stick to for now

User Settings

Here are the Visual Studio Code Custom Settings I use currently:

{

"editor.minimap.enabled": false,
"workbench.statusBar.visible": false,
"explorer.openEditors.visible": 0,
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
"tab.activeBackground": "#3e9df5"
}
}
