I love [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/?ref=irishdotnet.dev) but even the dark mode can be a bit drab and boring looking. Luckiliy there are tons of amazing themes you can install to really personalise it.

Installing a theme couldn't be easier. Open the **Color Theme** by pressing ***Ctrl+K* and then *Ctrl + T***

At the bottom of the list you'll see an option to ***Install Additional Color Themes....*** Select this option and then choose a theme from the available list.

For this example, I chose Mattia Astorino's amazing [Material Theme](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Equinusocio.vsc-material-theme&ref=irishdotnet.dev)

Once you install the theme it will be available to select when you go back into the Color Theme selection. Simply ***press Ctrl+K Ctrl+T*** and select ***Material Theme Palelight*** to get the same theme as the image above.
