Tweaks & Theming

You can customize colors using the workbench.colorCustomizations setting in your settings.json:

"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
  "tab.activeBackground": "#282c34",
  "activityBar.background": "#282c34",
  "sideBar.background": "#282c34"
}

Or use editor.tokenColorCustomizations to tweak syntax colors:

"editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
  "[Theme]": {
    "textMateRules": [
      {
        "scope": ["source.python"],
        "settings": {
          "foreground": "#e06c75"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}
