title: How to use a VSC theme in monaco-editor?
body: <p>To my understanding <a href="https://github.com/microsoft/monaco-editor" rel="nofollow noreferrer">monaco-editor</a> and VSCode are using two different formats to define themes.</p>
  <ul>
  <li>Example: <a href="https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/master/src/vs/editor/standalone/common/themes.ts" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Default Monaco themes</a></li>
  <li>Example: <a href="https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/master/extensions/theme-defaults/themes/dark_plus.json" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Default VSC theme</a></li>
  </ul>
  <p>It seems that an earlier version of VSC primarily used the <a href="https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/color_schemes_tmtheme.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>tmTheme</code> definition format</a> which allowed themes to be converted using <a href="https://github.com/brijeshb42/monaco-themes" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this tool</a> (also see a <a href="https://github.com/microsoft/monaco-editor/issues/675" rel="nofollow noreferrer">GitHub issue from 2017</a>). However, since VSC is now using a new format to define its themes, I'm wondering whether there is a (simple) way to use existing VSC themes in the Monaco editor.</p>
  <p>Thanks a lot for your help! :)</p>
  <p>P.S. This <a href="https://github.com/microsoft/monaco-editor/issues/207#issuecomment-564092179" rel="nofollow noreferrer">GitHub issue comment from 2019</a> seems to indicate that there is indeed <strong>no</strong> easy way to do this but hopefully things have changed since then. </p>
