Hello eveyrone! I have rencently moved from linux to MacOS thanks to @gperales, he convinced me.. , and because the colors are completely different I had to look for a VS Code theme, and it was a bit difficult because a lot of them are too dimmed or too dark. So I decided to reate my own theme. The background is not too dark, not too dimmed and the syntax is not neon... You can get it in the landing page or in Microsoft market place. - https://serendipitytheme.com https://marketplace.visualstudio... Available options: Code editors - Dark - Dark italic - Dark low contrast - Light - Light italic - Light Low contrast Terminals - iTerms2 Dark - iTerms2 Light - MacOS terminal Dark Miscellaneous - Slack Dark - Slack Light - Firefox Dark - Firefox Light More comimg up. Hope you guys enjoy it and feel free to ask me something here or on twitter. - https://twitter.com/Mike_Andreuzza

Hey @michael_andreuzza , nice improve you added white mode as well, we have some guys that use that as well. I'm happy to see this is getting updates. I'm using the Serendipity theme on a daily basis for the past 6 months, on a Mac machine, but with the last update the highlighting words are barely visible and often I'm changing the theme when I'm doing some intensive work. So my ask is, can we get back the old theme as an unmaintained theme "legacy" let's say because I would love to use that further.
Michael Andreuzza
hey @iulian_albu! the old tyeme is already publish next to the other one. here - https://marketplace.visualstudio...

Congrats Mike! This looks really nice. And I like that you decided to build both dark + light versions.
Michael Andreuzza
Thank you @csaba_kissi, as you know I was dark mode ultra before, but lately I have been using more light than dark. I start it appreciating a good light theme,...and websites.
Michael Flores
I love the colors. Is there a way to get it to use more italics a la the Night Owl theme? I just love the italics in Dank Mono and want to see more of them :)
Michael Andreuzza
@mike_flores23 Cheers Michael. Yeah, you can always alter the looks on the settings.json
Michael Flores
@michael_andreuzza I'm coming back to VS Code after a year+ on Nova so I'm not familiar with the setting I should use, wondering what setting in settings.json would cause the rendering of italics for more of the code? I don't see an option that seems like what I'm looking for but I'm sure I just missed it.
Michael Andreuzza
@mike_flores23 I will guide when I come back home! you got twitter?
Michael Andreuzza
@mike_flores23 just DMd you on Twitter!
Tony Lea
Beautiful man! Will be trying it out later today. I may have to part ways with Shades of Purple theme :D
Michael Andreuzza
Thamk you @tony_lea4! Shades of Purple is a great theme too!
Gilli Sigurdsson
Awesome as always Michael! It's quite fun to launch at the same time and compare results. You're killing it as usual! I'll check out the theme once I get my laptop up and running again.
Michael Andreuzza
@gillisig Thank you Gilli!
Mike Jones
I use 2 different IDE's depending on what work im doing. for VS code i use this theme as i still cant find anything better at the moment.. Mike is an absolutely sound bloke who cares about the work he does both free and commercial! Go check out his other works. its incredible!
Michael Andreuzza
@skino2021 Mikey!!! You are always filled with good words man. Thank you for that.
Nathan Fallet
Just installed it on both iMac and MacBook, and it’s just beautiful and comfortable. I was previously using the default dark+ theme with the Material Icon Theme (I keep this Icon theme for now except if I find a better one)
Michael Andreuzza
@nathanfallet Cheers Nathan. I am using a different icon theme, I can comebackn tell you soon as I get back home. Thank for trying it, really appreciate!

This looks great. However, as a person who has trouble distinguishing contrast between colors, this is pretty bad. I'm sticking with GitHub Dark Default which provides enough contrast to distinguish colors.
Michael Andreuzza
.....mmmI havn't go any feedback about that actually.... been testing the accessibility and is pretty high. Try this, it has much more contrast than the dark https://marketplace.visualstudio...
Bogdan Nichovski
Congrats Mike! I installed serendipity a few days ago and I'm already in love with the theme ❀ Keep up the good work πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘
Michael Andreuzza
love to hear that @bogdan_nichovski! feed back is appreciated!
Iulian Albu
Mesmerising, good choice on the color options, pale palette it's a thing this year. For me works very well with Fira Code font and font ligatures. It's a very good replacement for my GitHub Dark theme I had for several months now. Keep going with the good work! πŸš€
Michael Andreuzza
yea, is true wkth Fira Code works great too @iulian_albu. I have been using the GH Dimmed but it became weird on retina. The pale colors helps because they are not neon, when using neon, eyes are suffering too...and Darkmode becomes pointless. Thank you for the kind words!
