Themes can help you at focusing what truly matters in your project's files and also make your IDE look more aesthetically pleasing to the eye. So, I have created a list of VS Code themes that you can apply right now for free.

How to install & set

Once we open VS Code and click the extensions tab or press Ctrl+Shift+X, we can search through the library of all the extensions. Now, we type the name of the theme we can click on the green install button. After the installation, a themes window will show up, here we can select the theme modes if any exist.

If you do not like the theme you have selected before, you can change it after you press Ctrl+K Ctrl+T in any window, and a panel with every installed theme will show up.
