How to disable syntax coloring in Visual Studio Code

I would like to disable syntax coloring altogether.

I have tried to disable parameter hints but that didn't have any effect.

Is it possible to have the editor with just a foreground/background color and nothing else?

What is semantic highlighting VS Code?

Semantic Highlighting is a revolutionary way of highlighting code not by syntax selectors or token names, but by variable names. In this way, a variable fun would be colored the same no matter where it appeared in the code.

Search the extensions marketplace for "plain theme". There are a couple which might to the trick for you: Plain Theme, Plain Light Theme and Nando Theme.
