It'd be so helpful to show some examples/images of the various themes without having to install them locally to browse. The image in the announcement leaves a lot to be desired.

I wish themes showcased C#/C++ examples or basically any other languages besides JS/HTML/CSS combo... Every time I see a theme I'd like to try I proceed to install it, open up a file in both of the aforementioned languages and then I uninstall the theme due to some obvious things missing. For example in C++ very few themes highlight namespaces and their members in different colors. It's a damn shame really.

Hmm, it's an Electron app, so it could be cool to be able to click a button on a theme site which launches an instance of VS Code with an already-applied theme, similar to Theia[1].

Of course, I'm sure this would take longer than it sounds like it would.
