I implemented the above still it completely didn't get me rid of the italics in the "Dark Theme".

I think I used this with Wes Bos's Cobalt2 theme a long time ago and it was ok. I checked it now with my theme and its fine.

Check out this article https://www.hmablogs.com/change-color-of-text-and-syntax-in-vscode-editor/
and maybe add to the rules the elements still in italics.

Thanks for your reply, can you please provide example of how to accomplish the above?

I saw that video. I am slightly confused as that video was targeting color customization. How can I change the below for font style, not color customization?

storage.type.js
"fontStyle": "italic"

Finally, I solved it by adding these files name as a rule:

Italic fonts are removed now. The theme looks awesome.

I didn't realize the article I linked is no more.
Its not an extension. Open the Command palette (Ctrl-Shift-p by default) and search for "Developer: Inspect Editor Tokens and Scopes".
