This just for learning? You can already run VS Code in your browser at [https://vscode.dev/\](https://vscode.dev/). Don't get me wrong, it looks pretty cool so far, but it takes a lot of work to make a full-fledged environment and VS Code is already out there.

To be honest, it reminds me of the 60s, back when displays had one color. There's some old farts that love that. And there is a place for it if someone had visual impairments, but for the rest of us we want to better use the color palettes we've been given. If you're serious about this project, go hire an artist on Fiverr or something. As to your original question, this is the theme I go with. It gives me warm fuzzies and makes me feel special.

Good point. I didn't even think of that. :doh:

From a learning standpoint, it's a very cool project man.

Dark themes are easier on my eyes. Otherwise I just use the defaults because I don't have time to fiddle with things that don't affect my code.

I have to increse the font sizes - better than having everything scaled 150% (which I have to do anyway).

I was wondering about that, too. When you take a look at other web-based code editors online, their font sizes are somewhat small by default. When using Visual Studio, I set the zoom/font-size to between 110%, and 150%. It depends a lot on how tired my eyes get. One of the best things I've ever done was to buy reading glasses. They only cost $15 or so at the supermarket. I get the lowest strength magnification, which is either 1.0, or 1.25. You don't realize how much difference they make until you try them. In terms of default font-size, I most often use 11 point font. Back in college, I took several typography-related classes. I learned that 11pt Helvetica font is the easiest for most people to read. For code editors, I prefer to go with Monospace. Sans-serif fonts are what I prefer because I find them to be more readable.

I can definately relate to that. I've found that the absolute best way to address neck/back problems is by taking physical therapy for a few months. Before I took physical therapy, my lower neck was in awful shape. My physical therapist performed some spinal adjustments during one of my sessions. For years, I had a sharp nagging pain in my lower cervical vertebrae. After he adjusted my spine, the pain disappeared and I haven't had any of that pain since.

Duct tape works for everything :laugh:

I haven't heard of Panda Syntax before. I googled it and found some examples. I like what I see, but the commented text needs to be brighter. I made the commented text in my editor display as green. I figure that if you're going to document your code, it might as well be easy to read.
