Syntax highlighting partially working on VS Code for C#

Question

I have a laptop and a pc. Both have a very minimal installation of Visual Studio Code, same version.

The laptop shows a C# file in this way:

The pc shows the same C# file in this other way:

Obviously, I prefer the laptop version. But I can't get the PC to color the text in the same way.

Any suggestion?

Answer 1

VS Code comes with 2 dark and 2 light themes (Dark, Dark+, Light and Light+). On your laptop, the Dark+ theme is active, on your PC, it's the Dark theme.

Changing the Theme

In VS Code on your PC, press F1, enter Theme, select Preferences: Color Theme, select Dark+ from the dropdown and you should be fine.

You can also press Ctrl+K, then Ctrl+T to open the theme dropdown.
