Pretty Pink is a syntax highlight theme for Visual Studio Code. It tries to highlight in mostly analogous, but still distinguishable colors from the magenta and pink region with a bit of contrast sprinkled in. It was made for people who don't like overly colorful highlights and instead prefer a more uniform and muted color scheme.

Automatically: From the extensions tab within VSCode, search for and install 'Pretty Pink Syntax Theme'. Once installed, themes can be switched using the menu item File -> Preferences -> Color Theme or via Ctrl+K Ctrl+T.

Manually: Copy or clone the repository into ~/.vscode/extensions/ and restart the editor.

Bracket Colorization: VSCode supports different bracket colors based on nesting level. This theme disables that by using one color for all pairs.

• Change or remove the editorBracketHighlight.foregroundX key in ~/.vscode/extensions/themes/pretty-pink-XXXX.json

Status Bar Color: This theme changes the status bar color, which might not fit everybody.

• Change or remove the statusBar.XXXX keys in ~/.vscode/extensions/themes/pretty-pink-XXXX.json

Editor Inlays: VSCode can annotate your code with hints for certain languages. The default look is rather ugly with a strong background color. Without the background, distinction between inlay and actual code can be a bit hard. A custom font and/or font size can help here, but must be done in user settings:

• Press Ctrl+Shift+P, type "user settings", select "Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON)". The recommended settings are as follows, but can be changed to your liking.

{
    // advanced inlay modification
    "editor.inlayHints.fontFamily": "Monospace",
    "editor.inlayHints.fontSize": 12,

    // ... other settings
}
