Theme with contrasting `inline code` like Visual Studio Code?

[Caspar]

I like it when inline-code stands out from the text. (Much like I’m used to with VSC.) Is there a theme or plugin that achieves this easily? I definitely don’t want to play around with custom-css.
Thanks

If you try some community themes yourself, you will find a bunch of themes that highlight inline codes. (ITS for example)
Some of them even allow you to customize the color through Style Settings plugin.

Also, I found a nice-looking plugin:

I understand. For those who are interested in CSS,

:not(pre) > code,
.cm-inline-code {
    color : var(--code-string) !important;
}

To change the color:

• Replace --code-string with your choice of variable name from this list
• Or replace the whole var(--code-string) with the color you like, for example,
  • color name: red, blue, green, …
  • RGB: rgb(255, 0, 0)
  • or other format (hex, hsl, …): Learn more at color - CSS: Cascading Style Sheets | MDN

Thanks for the very comprehensive answer. ITS is a good place to start and the Style Settings plugin makes it endlessly customisable.

And although your custom-css solution looks remarkably simple, css itself feels like dark magick to me and i don’t want to open that book.
