anyone using a vscode theme they feel strongly about? currently using material theme, but wouldn't mind a change, so looking for recommendations. my biggest gripe is that most themes' comment color isn't sufficiently legible for these old eyes, it's usually too light a gray against whatever bg they have

I’ve long been partial to the Solarized themes (both light and dark) and I’m currently waffling back and forth in VS Code between Solarized Dark and Github Dark Dimmed. Not a fan of the Github light themes. Also like a couple of the Monokai Pro themes (the “Machine” variant, in particular).
w
will check them out thanks

Cobalt2 for dark and Snazzy Light for light.

One that makes my tired eyes comfortable is the "Winter is Coming Theme"

I use a theme called Dark+ and i have added a few additional settings to vscode to make CFML tags look more like they would in sublime/dremweaver. added those settings to a GIST for anyone who wants it. just add it to the vscode settings.json https://gist.github.com/scottsteinbeck/3695280c79f23d89b52bb45ce066fd03

I did the same as Scott, so you can always take a theme you like and just adjust the comments to make them more visible. You can apply bold, italics, etc. as well as colors.
"editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
{
"scope": "keyword.control",
"settings": {
"fontStyle": "italic bold"
}
}
}
You can also apply the edits to specific themes as well as globally.
"editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
"[Material Theme]": {
"scope": "comment",
"settings": {
"fontStyle": "bold"
}
}
}

thanks all
