Big Sur

Added Big Sur Versions + Icons!

macOS Modern is a set of Visual Studio Code themes styled to match native macOS as closely as possible. Updated to include dark + light versions and a few minimal icon themes. Reapply both (icon and color) themes if you have problems. I HIGHLY recommend using the settings below for best results

Setup & Tweaks

There are a few settings that should be added to your User Settings to really transform the look to better match OS X. The zoom level and native title bar make a huge difference in the overall look of VSCode. I also prefer to hide the Activity Bar, which can be done from the View menu.

Highly Recommended

Extension Tweaks

If you choose to hide the activity bar, you can install the 'Activitus Bar' extension to add the activity bar buttons to your status bar. Add these settings to theme the 'Activitus Bar' and 'Project Manager' extensions to match Modern macOS.

Optional Additions

Visual Studio Download

You can optionally hide the minimap. Far cry mac download.

Activity Bar Badge Background

You can change the activity bar badge background with these settings. Download crossy road mac. Add the line for the color you want to workbench.colorCustomizations

Extras

Light and dark VSCode icons are also included in full quality (don't use the small preview below) on the GitHub repo or in the extension folder in:~/.vscode/extensions/davidbwaters.macOS-modern-theme/extras/app-iconsYou could also download the files from the repo folder by clicking the name of the icns or png and clicking the 'Download' button. You can use the free app LiteIcon to change the icon.

There are also Sketch design files with all the icons. Feel free to use, tweak, add, etc. If you find them useful, a shoutout would be appreciated.

Note: This extension is still very much a work-in-progress. Please report bugs to the GitHub repository.

Native macOS is a color theme for Visual Studio Code that aims to match native macOS applications as closely as possible. The extension includes four versions - two light and two dark, with a light and a dark editor version for each. You can download it here.

Optional Tweaks

There are a few optional tweaks you can do to really nail down the look of native macOS. The native title bar, for example, really makes a huge difference, and so does the font, SF Mono (you can find that here, if you don't already have it installed). You can easily perform these tweaks by using the command pallette to open settings.json (Shift + Ctrl + P on Windows, Shift + ⌘ + P on Mac) and searching 'Preferences'.

You can also hide the Activity bar and replace it with an extension like Activitus Bar to further the look, and use an extension like Vibrancy to enhance it.

If you'd like, you can also disable the minimap, though I personally prefer to keep mine on for ease of use.

To complete the look, you can also replace the default icon of Visual Studio Code with one of the macOS-themed icons included. icon.png will work on both macOS and Windows, and icon.icns and icon.ico will work exclusively on each one respectively.

To replace the application icon on macOS

Navigate to your applications folder and find Visual Studio Code. Right-click on it, then click 'Get Info'.

Visual Studio Code Macos Powershell

Navigate to the Visual Studio Code extensions folder (Users/your-name/.vscode/extensions)¹. Find the Native macOS Theme Folder (dsoloha.native-macos-0.0.1), then drag the icon.icns file onto the Info pane, onto the small icon at the top (directly under the title bar).

Restart Visual Studio Code. Remove it from your dock and re-add it, if necessary.

¹ If the .vscode folder isn't showing, press Shift + ⌘ + . to show your hidden folders.

Visual Studio Code Macos Icon
