To achieve the exact font rendering as seen in the preview, make sure the following fonts are installed on your system:
- 🧬 Fira Code – Download here (for ligatures and modern code style)
- 💻 JetBrains Mono – Download here (excellent readability and aesthetics)
- 🔡 Source Code Pro Nerd Font – Download here (Adobe’s developer font, patched with Nerd Font glyphs)
- 📝 Roboto Mono Nerd Font – Download here (Clean and modern monospace, patched with icons)
💡 You can select your preferred font via the editor.fontFamily setting inside settings.json.
For a more visually refined and modern look (as seen in the preview), you may optionally use the Anyshphere Modern theme:
- Anyshphere Modern - Download here “This is the theme I use daily for coding. It offers a clean, elegant aesthetic with soft syntax colors that reduce eye strain and keep me focused.”
To complete the overall aesthetic, I also use a custom wallpaper that blends well with the transparent VS Code setup:
💡 This is the wallpaper I currently use with my VS Code theme. I discovered it from a Hyprland rice called Aurora Dotfiles, and it matches perfectly with the soft, bluish tones of the UI.
- 🌫️ walls
💡 This is a wallpaper I often use with VS Code. The original image comes from Wallpaper Engine; I found a copy in the walls repository by dharmx.
This repository serves as a portable, version-controlled configuration for Visual Studio Code. Perfect for syncing your environment across devices or sharing a trusted setup with teammates.
- Clone or download this repository
- Copy settings.json to your VS Code user configuration folder:
📍 Windows: %APPDATA%\Code\User
📍 macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User
📍 Linux: ~/.config/Code/User
- Restart VS Code and you're ready to go! ⚡
