VSCode Update Messed Up Your Color Theme: How to Fix

So you’ve just opened your VSCode this morning and noticed that half of the tokens are not highlighted and the text is screaming bright, right into your eyes. Here’s what to do.

Step one: don’t panic. It’s just the recent update switched to new default color themes. The old themes are still there.

Step two: just go to Settings -> User, type workbench.colorTheme and change it to Dark Modern (if you were using the default theme before).

That’s all. Now you can relax and get back to working.
