Seeing the Theme in Action

00:00 With your theme installed, it’s time to see the theme in action. Basically you already do, but let’s sort the window a little bit so you can actually see some Python code with your new theme.

00:11 So I will close the sidebar and then open a Python file on the right, so for example, crud.py,

00:22 and then make it a little bit bigger so we can actually see some code. And then let’s also add the README file as a tab in there so you can see how Markdown looks and then let’s close the sidebar again to have our settings on the left and some Python code on the right.

00:42 The actual Python code right now doesn’t matter that much. It’s just an example of some Python code. But if you’re curious, I’ll leave you a link for the tutorial where this code is from in the additional resources at the end of this video course.

00:57 And then let’s add some word wrapping to the settings on the left

01:04 so you can see the settings in full. So on the left, now you have the settings where you can see that you’re using the Dobri Next -A08- Midnight theme, and on the right side, the code with this color theme. In general, VS Code has this color theme as well but the important thing to look at now is really how does this theme render your code?

01:24 I kind of like it. There are the poppy colors, just like we saw in our preview and this purplish-dark background. One thing where I’m a little bit unsure about is if you are looking at those chained database methods, there is not much syntax highlighting going on there.

01:42 So this might be a point where you could think of choosing another theme or actually trying out other themes while having this code open and traversing through them.

01:51 For now, it’s okay to keep this theme and have a look at the README file. So there you can see that the headlines are styled differently, the commands have a different color, so that’s pretty nice.

02:03 So I think I will go with this theme, but in the next lesson, I will show you a cool little trick where you can actually use different themes in the same VS Code profile.
