无法在 VS Code 中更改主题？

Question

am not getting any error or anything, but VS code by default always switches to a Dark+ (default dark), even if in my system setting I have selected Light theme (I have a MacBook Air). This is too much frustrating and I also uninstalled and installed VS Code 2-3 times and am unable to change the behaviour. Please let me know if you need any additional info with this question, I will provide it.

An additional point on this problem, when I press CMD +, to open setting, and under appearance, I change the Color Theme, it let me change. And then when I open a file (a python file suppose) or just switch to an opened file it changes back to Dark+ (default dark). I don't know how to solve this behaviour. Please help.

Answer 1

I think VS Code is just doesn't follow the system theme (I observed this in my Windows 10 machine). Also cmd+, is not the place to change VS code theme.

You can try Cmd P and enter >color theme to select a theme.

Answer 2

VS code doesn't follow system theme, do cmd + K, then let go of K while holding cmd and press T. Or you can cmd + K THEN cmd + T. There you will get a menu where you will get your color options. Please upvote is helpful.

Answer 3

I reset workbench settings to default and then added the following to settings.json and it solved my problem.

    "workbench.colorTheme": "GitHub Dark Default",
    "window.autoDetectColorScheme": true,
    "workbench.preferredDarkColorTheme": "GitHub Dark Default",
    "workbench.preferredLightColorTheme": "GitHub Light Default",
