    Hi, I figured it out! So the theme is basically GitHub Dark Default with a few customizations. To add the customizations, you have to open up settings.json and add a few things.

    Step 1: Set the theme to GitHub Dark Default.

    Step 2: Press `Ctrl + Shift + P` and then type `Preferences: Open Settings (JSON)`

    Step 3: Scroll down until you find `workbench.colorCustomizations` and then inside that you should paste this:
    `"[GitHub Dark Default]": { // This is CS50 style :)`
    `"activityBar.background": "#000",`
    `"editor.background": "#000",`
    `"editor.lineHighlightBackground": "#0000",`
    `"editor.lineHighlightBorder": "#0000",`
    `"editorWhitespace.foreground": "#59A5FC",`
    `"sideBar.background": "#000000",`
    `"terminal.foreground": "#fff",`
    `"terminal.background": "#000000",`
    `"editorGroup.border": "#000000",`
    `"tab.border": "#424242",`
    `"panel.border": "#424242",`
    `"terminal.border": "#000",`
    `"sideBar.border": "#000",`
    `"titleBar.border": "#000",`
    `"tab.activeBorder": "#000",`
    `"editorGroupHeader.tabsBorder": "#424242",`
    `"editorGroupHeader.tabsBackground": "#000000",`
    `"tab.activeBackground": "#000000",`
    `"tab.activeBorderTop": "#ff0000",`
    `"panelTitle.activeBorder": "#ff0000",`
    `"titleBar.activeBackground": "#000000",`
    `"panel.background": "#000000",`
    `},`

    Step 4: Double-check to make sure it looks like this:
