Using the the [PlotThemes.jl](https://github.com/JuliaPlots/PlotThemes.jl) package, I can set the color theme for generated plots using `theme()` command/function (of course, following the `using PlotThemes`). Within Atom/Juno editor I used to use `theme(:juno)` and the generated plots shared the color theme with the rest of the editor, which looked neat.

Now, leaving gradually the Atom/juno editor, I am missing a similar option within the VS Code editor. None of the provided dark themes are really fitting VS Code colors. Has anyone created a suitable plot theme for VS Code already? Isn’t an inclusion of one planned for `PlotThemes.jl`?
