Comment formatting in VSCode

Comment syntax highlight

Recently I've enjoyed having underlined and white text as my comments in code syntax formatting.
For me, it makes it clear that something new will happen here, and it makes my code more like reading a book of chapters, rather than a puzzle to decipher.
It helps with clarity of mind.

How to

Here is how to enforce this in any theme in VSCode
Open your user settings with CTRL + Shift + P and search for User Settings JSON

"editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
    "[*Light*]": {
        "textMateRules": [
            {
                "scope": "comment",
                "settings": {
                    "foreground": "#000000CC",
                    "fontStyle": "underline"
                }
            }
        ]
    },
    "[*Dark*]": {
        "textMateRules": [
            {
                "scope": "comment",
                "settings": {
                    "foreground": "#FFFFFFCC",
                    "fontStyle": "underline"
                }
            }
        ]
    },
}

"editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
    "[*Light*]": {
        "textMateRules": [
            {
                "scope": "comment",
                "settings": {
                    "foreground": "#000000CC",
                    "fontStyle": "underline"
                }
            }
        ]
    },
    "[*Dark*]": {
        "textMateRules": [
            {
                "scope": "comment",
                "settings": {
                    "foreground": "#FFFFFFCC",
                    "fontStyle": "underline"
                }
            }
        ]
    },
}

and then you have nice, clear comments.

How is that?
