Uh hello guys, welcome to this video. So
0:02
in this video, I'll show you how to
0:03
activate the dark or night mode theme
0:06
inside your VS Code IDE. So just go to
0:10
extensions and just type just black.
0:14
This is the name of the theme which
0:15
actually activates the night mode
0:18
clearly.
0:20
So if you just see this, it's almost got
0:23
122,000 uh installs.
0:27
So simply click on the install button.
0:30
It comes with this nice little theme
0:32
here. So once you activate this this
0:35
option will come.
0:38
This is a theme just black. So if you
0:40
activate this theme you will see these
0:41
nice little syntax highlighting.
0:45
And if you open any file here so you can
0:47
see it's a very good theme here with
0:49
good syntax highlighting. It basically
0:52
highlights all the source code inside VS
0:55
code. You'll see for each
0:59
this is a TypeScript file here. So you
1:01
can see it is highlighting each and
1:02
every word and if you highlight any code
1:05
here it also adds this nice little
1:07
background effect as well.
1:10
So all in all it basically activates the
1:12
dark and light mode inside your VS code.
1:15
You can see the clearly the code is
1:17
visible inside the
1:19
dark kind of a theme here.
1:22
It has only one theme right here. But it
1:25
is more than enough. I think it's simply
1:28
dark mode.
1:30
So you can see the highlighting is
1:32
perfect for a night project inside VS
1:37
codes. You can see you can navigate to
1:38
any file here. And uh
1:44

1:47
shows highlights all the text.
1:51
You can clearly see. So this is the
1:54
theme here. Just black. Go to
1:55
extensions. This is just black dark
1:58
theme with syntax highlighters. Simply
2:01
activate this theme. Uh it's very
2:03
simple. After you activate this, simply
2:08
