I've played around with VSCode and what it can do seems impressive, but I want to do one simple thing. I want to make the background black.
Every dark theme I can find makes the background dark gray, not black. I actually looked into what it would take to make a new color theme and I simply don't understand all the steps, and definitely don't want to deal with the hassle. It very quickly goes off into the weeds of TextMate themes (huh? Why are we referencing a Mac editor? Yeah, I know it's a de facto standard, but really?), editing XML (complete with hex codes for colors) and installing something called "Yo Code". Dude, I just want to change one friggin' color!
In every native app I've ever used, I can just go into the Options and make the background black, period.
Just because it's a programmer's editor shouldn't mean you need to be a programmer to make the simplest configuration.
