How can I find the folder of the theme I'm using in VS Code

Question

I want to customize the theme I'm using, how can I find the folder of it?

I wanted to customize 'Atom One Darker' theme but I can't find its folder in app/extensions.

How can I find it?

Answer 1

As the documentation explains, depending on your platform, the extensions are located the following folder:

• Windows %USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensions
  
• macOS ~/.vscode/extensions
  
• Linux ~/.vscode/extensions

Each extension (the themes are extensions too) is stored here in a directory whose name is generated by the concatenation of its ID and the installed version.

Search for a directory whose name starts with christopherafbjur.vscode-theme-onedarker- (it ends with the extension version).

To find the ID of an extension, open the Extensions view (menu -> View -> Open View... -> Extensions), filter the installed extensions (use the menu that pops up from the funnel icon or type @installed in the "Search extensions" box), find the one you need then right click on it and choose "Copy Extension Id" from the popup menu.

In Windows, you can find the default theme configuration files in C:\Users{user}\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\resources\app\extensions\theme-defaults\themes

Make sure you're in the Programs folder and not the .vscode folder that's in Documents
