# Switch themes

There are a lot of themes to choose from. These are some of the more popular light and dark variants. The 3 in the last column are just for fun and making people laugh in presentations. All of these themes are included in the VS Code Can Do That extension pack.

| Light Themes    | Dark Themes | Fun           |
