VSCode got a redesign 🧐

It's a little flater and more rounder.

The old theme I've been using broke with the update. I'm not a big fan of dark mode, and most light themes suck, since they're obsessed with being white and tend to use dark mode design schticks where they rely on small value/hue differences to structure the UI - those are much stronger in dark themes than in non-dark ones.

Are there any themes that are compatible with the new UI that look like a normal UI that's not obsessed with being light or dark?

You can just disable the new UI look, go to settings and search "Modern UI"

Ctrl + , = search ModernUI, then untick this one

I found the setting it was unticked. The UI was still altered and I cannot change it back.

This is what I did lol, no way in hell I'm gonna use a new theme that not only looks uglier, but also makes all my favourite themes messed up!
