Colorful DarkPlus is a Visual Studio Code theme extension based on the Dark+ default theme with brighter, more colorful accents. It now ships in two variants so you can choose the main UI color style while keeping the same tokenColors:
- Colorful Dark+ (classic vibrant accents)
- Colorful Dark+ Modern — modern UI palette while preserving the same code token colors
Maximum compatibility with:
- Rust Analyzer + transparent InlayHints
- Solidity
- Motoko
Each language shows both the Default and Modern variants.

- Open the Extensions sidebar in Visual Studio Code (Cmd+Shift+X).
- Search for
Colorful DarkPlusand click Install. - Select a theme: go to Code > Preferences > Color Theme and pick one of:
- Colorful Dark+

Both variants reuse the same token colors under the hood. If you want to create your own accent variant, add a new theme file that includes ./themes/dark_plus.json and override only the colors section.
