VS Code introduced a new useful feature that allows you to try out themes without installing them.
🎥 Check out this video for a showcase of this functionality:
If you cannot watch the video, please read on to find the steps you need to take to preview the themes without installing them:
Press CTRL + K and CTRL + T (CMD + K and CMD + T if you’re on macOS) to open the theme selector.
Then click + Browse Additional Color Themes… option.
Then, using the up and down arrows, select themes to preview them.
If you like a theme and want to install it, you can do so by clicking on the theme’s name.
A popup will appear, asking if you want to install the theme.
Click OK, and VS Code will install and activate the theme.
If you want to uninstall a theme, you must go to the theme selector again, click the cog icon, and then uninstall the extension.
