Customizing VS Code for Two Fonts.

Customizing VS Code

I followed the instructions in this blog post Multiple Fonts: Alternative to Operator Mono in VSCode, but did not see any changes made to VS Code. After digging a bit, I discovered that all the CSS class names had changed. They’re now e.g. .mtk13, .mtk16 { … }.

Gotchas

• Ensure it’s a file URL e.g. { "vscode_custom_css.imports": [ "file:///Users/Brian/Desktop/vscode-style.css" ] }
• If you move the location of your file and update your user settings with the new location, you will need to disable and enable custom CSS cmd+shift+p.
• Also, anytime you change the style in your custom CSS file, you need to disable, then re-enable the extension.
