Preview Themes (Markdown Preview Themes)

[trymeouteh]

A setting to change the theme (background) of the preview panel. Especially for markdown files.

I am using the default dark theme in VS Code and it is hard to read a markdown file in the preview panel with the dark background. By having a setting to change the background to a light theme while keeping the rest of VS Code with a dark theme, it will be easier to read markdown files in VS Code.

You can use extension like Markdown Preview Github Styling or search for other in marketplace.

Alternatiely you can use https://code.visualstudio.com/Docs/languages/markdown#_using-your-own-css but this onle looks like workspace level only

Yes, if this extension feature was built into VS Code, that would be great. For now I will use this extension, thank you!

We try to keep VS Code lean and we think the functionality you're asking for is great for a VS Code extension. Maybe you can already find one that suits you in the VS Code Marketplace. Just in case, in a few simple steps you can get started writing your own extension. See also our issue reporting guidelines.

Happy Coding!
