VS Code

Implementation

VS Code is a dark theme inspired by the "Dark+" color scheme of Visual Studio Code. It is specifically tailored for developers, software engineers, and technical professionals who want their resume to reflect their coding environment.

The template adopts a "Resume as Code" aesthetic, treating different parts of your profile as code elements:

• Name: Decorated as a class (e.g., class JohnDoe {)
• Headline: Rendered as a code comment (e.g., // Full Stack Engineer)
• Sections: Represented as function calls (e.g., experience())
• Skills/Languages: Styled as object property keys (e.g., JavaScript: Expert)

Under the hood, the template uses:

• Typography: Uses a monospace font stack (Consolas, Monaco, Courier New, monospace) for an authentic IDE feel
• Syntax Highlighting: Uses the official VS Code Dark+ color palette for keywords, strings, classes, and functions
• Layout Indentation: Features vertical indentation guides (border-left) to visually represent the scope of each section
