A minimal and personalized Visual Studio Code setup focusing on the settings.json file. This configuration enhances the developer experience with customized editor preferences designed for consistency, performance, and productivity.
- βοΈ settings.json β Tailored VS Code settings for an optimized development workflow
To achieve the full visual and functional effect shown in the preview, please install the following extensions:
- πͺ Glassit-VSC - Adds acrylic/glass-like transparency to the VS Code interface.
- π¨ Custom UI Style - Allows injecting custom CSS for a highly stylized look.
- π VSCode Animations - Adds smooth animations for UI interactions and transitions.
- π Font Switcher β Easily switch fonts via the command palette
β οΈ Some extensions like Glassit-VSC and Custom UI Style require additional configuration and enabling custom CSS/JS. Make sure to follow their documentation carefully.
To achieve the exact font rendering as seen in the preview, make sure the following fonts are installed on your system:
- 𧬠Fira Code β Download here (for ligatures and modern code style)
- π» JetBrains Mono β Download here (excellent readability and aesthetics)
- π‘ Source Code Pro Nerd Font β Download here (Adobeβs developer font, patched with Nerd Font glyphs)
- π Roboto Mono Nerd Font β Download here (Clean and modern monospace, patched with icons)
π‘ You can select your preferred font via the editor.fontFamily setting inside settings.json.
For a more visually refined and modern look (as seen in the preview), you may optionally use the Anyshphere Modern theme:
- Anyshphere Modern - Download here βThis is the theme I use daily for coding. It offers a clean, elegant aesthetic with soft syntax colors that reduce eye strain and keep me focused.β
To complete the overall aesthetic, I also use a custom wallpaper that blends well with the transparent VS Code setup:
π‘ This is the wallpaper I currently use with my VS Code theme. I discovered it from a Hyprland rice called Aurora Dotfiles, and it matches perfectly with the soft, bluish tones of the UI.
This repository serves as a portable, version-controlled configuration for Visual Studio Code. Perfect for syncing your environment across devices or sharing a trusted setup with teammates.
