Is it possible to customize the colors used by VSC background and text? I've tried all the color themes and none gives me what I need to see text clearly and comfortably. I can't find information on this in the Help, in the menus, or by searching on the Web.

- Thanks, I found Color Customizations / Edit in settings.json / { "workbench.colorTheme": "Solarized Light", "search.location": "panel" }. Now what do I do? I don't see any instructions, sorry.David Spector– David Spector2019-09-15 18:34:38 +00:00Commented Sep 15, 2019 at 18:34
- Look over these examples: stackoverflow.com/search?q=%5Bvscode%5D+colorcustomizationsMark– Mark2019-09-15 19:50:50 +00:00Commented Sep 15, 2019 at 19:50
- Searching for "vs code custom color theme" took me directly to the documentation. Another minute or so of clicking around, I found code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/… -- the bit you want starts with "To tune the editor's syntax highlighting colors..." and has a handy screenshot.Roger Lipscombe– Roger Lipscombe2019-09-15 20:19:14 +00:00Commented Sep 15, 2019 at 20:19
- Thanks to Mark and Roger. But why are all these just examples? Where is a list of all the properties and values for setting colors? Is the documentation really this partial? Can one find the full list or JSON Schema internally in VSCode? I've posted a github Issue and I'll add any other information I find here.David Spector– David Spector2019-09-16 00:58:23 +00:00Commented Sep 16, 2019 at 0:58

I found the full list of color settings. I would imagine this would be useful to almost every user. It is at https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/theme-color .

this answer would be better with the list in the question (just in case the link expires)
