How to get VSCode default dark theme with Monokai syntax highlighting - themes

I prefer the Monokai themes syntax highlighting way more over any other theme, but I absolutely hate the general poopy brown background colours on the editor, sidebar, toolbar etc.
I've been trying to combine the syntax highlighting colours of Monokai with the background colours Default Dark. I've tried doing it 2 ways:
Selecting Monokai theme and editing the background colours (in settings.json)
Selecting Default dark theme and editing the token colours (in settings.json)
Finding a Monokai extension while using Default dark theme
My issues are that I can't find a file with all the hex colours of every element for the Default dark theme or the Monokai theme, making it difficult to change the settings.json in the way I want.
The top few Monokai extensions change things in ways that I don't want, some of the text highlighting is different, some even change fonts in ways that I don't want
I think the best way to incorporate what I want is my having the Monokai theme selected and then changing the background colours in the settings.json, but as I said, I can't find a resource that lists all the hex colours of every single resource in the Default dark theme. I think I can find all the syntax required to define the elements colours (just on the VSCode documentation), it's the actual hex colours that I can't find.

How to assign text colors when working with Vuetify themes

I'm quite new to Vuetify and struggling to figure out how themes, components and text colors work together (if they do at all).
I want to work with theme color names in my templates like primary, secondary, warning, error and assign colors to those keywords by adding a new theme or overwriting the existing one.
This all works out of the box but the problem is I can't figure out how to set text colors in the same way. I want to assign a primary-text-color, secondary-text-color, etc. and have it automatically use the correct text color by default.
Text colors seem to change automatically when I change the color on buttons but nowhere else.
If I add a theme color to buttons, Vuetify automatically changes the text color to be readable, for example (just using the default theme):
<v-btn color='primary'>Test</v-btn>
Text will change to primary and the button will be perfectly usable
while a lighter color will have dark text:
<v-btn>Test</v-btn>
But other components don't behave the same. For example a v-app-bar component with default color has dark text on a light background, but a primary app bar keeps the dark text on a blue background.
It looks like I need to explicitly change the text color with a helper class or similar, and even then I'd have to use something like white--text instead of primary--text (which just applies the actual primary color to text).
I think I've read all the docs on the website but I can't find any reference to this particular problem
Sorry for the links to images, I don't have enough flair to embed them in my post.
currently, this works primary--text
<v-list-item-title v-if="company_name" class="title primary--text">
{{ company_name.company_name }}
</v-list-item-title>

Highlighted text in Xcode Version Editor makes text unreadable

Let's say you have downloaded a custom theme for Xcode, let's say Darcula or Dracula. It's beautiful and you are happy.
Then you open the Version editor (option-shift-command enter) (to compare code with older git revisions) and you can't see the revised code because it's beige-on-beige (or pale yellow to pale yellow, the point is there's no contrast and it is unreadable).
You can cry or check the answer below...
I looked for ways to customize that particular setting (text highlighted in the right pane of the Version editor) but to no avail.
I then realized that that particular color is actually the complementary color of the regular text selection, which was blue in my case.
Setting that color to a nice dark green made the text highlight in the version editor a nice purple.

setting default design and font in powerpoint 2016

This question may be a bit too simplistic for this community but I'm stumped. When preparing a lecture I prefer to have a black background with white text on a square slide.
I know how to create a theme to get the slide design quickly.
I know how to change font text color.
But...
1) How do I assign a theme to default (instead of having to load it manually each time)?
2) How do I change the default text color?
Ideally, I'd like to have powerpoint open with my custom theme and having white text as the default color so I don't need to change these settings manually.
much thanks!
Point Google here to get a more detailed set of instrux,

But basically you rightclick the theme you want to set as default in the Themes gallery, then choose Set as Default.
When creating your theme, add a text box, format it to the font style you want, then right click and choose Set as Default Text Box. This will set the font style for any newly added text. Also make sure that the font theme included in your theme specifies the fonts you want for title and body text. To do this, go to View | Slide Master. On the Slide Master tab, you can use the Fonts button in the Background group to choose or modify the font theme.

VisualStudio 2010: Quickly flip between text editor color schemes? (for LCD vs Projector)

In VS2010, I have a customized text editor color scheme that has a black background and light grey text. This is great for me working by myself on an LCD display. However, often I need to plug in to a projector to display code to a group. The black background color scheme does not work well at all on a projector, so I always want to flip back to basically the "default" color scheme.
The only way I know of to do this right now is to export the VS color settings to a backup file, then revert to defaults. When I am done with my group presentation, I can then re-import the previously exported color settings.
Does anyone know of an easier / less manual way of doing this? Like a plugin that lets you flip between text editor color schemes, or simply a macro to do the manual process above?
I found this writeup on how to make a macro and menu items to quickly export/import the fonts and colors: http://jeffhandley.com/archive/2010/03/09/225.aspx

Remove box around collapsed regions and summaries in Visual Studio

I'm using VS2010 and I'd like to change the font style of regions and/or summaries when they are condensed, primarily to remove the border around these sections as it's becoming distracting when scrolling through the code.
I've looked through the "Fonts and Colors" and other options and couldn't find anything obvious that would let me change it. Is this font customizable and where can it be done if it is?
You can change the font color under Fonts and Colors > Text Editor > Collapsed Text. Not sure if you can remove the border.
