Unfortunately this "extension" changes your settings.json file and also might leave your extensions and stuff in a broken state.

The main culprit is the Custom UI Style extension that this extension relies on, since that extension does a lot of unnecessary code patching in a bunch of different files instead of just touching the css.

My version simply helps you add a css file and include it in your settings.json file with an extension that simply adds that css to vscode's html. It only touches one file and gives you instructions on how to add it. You don't even need to run the installation script.

Try it out here: https://github.com/raaid3/vscode-dark-islands

Also please let me know if you have any issues with it

after struggling for an hour I got my setting and extension back. I love the way VS Code look. Also, the theme itself is uneven, broken, and garbage.
