File explorer not adjusting to macOS Mojave dark theme

[rosierjolie]

• VSCode Version: Version 1.28.0-insider (1.28.0-insider)
• OS Version: macOS Mojave Version 10.14

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Select "Dark" appearance under system preferences > general.
2. Open up Visual Studio Code.
3. Click "File" and then "Open file..." (or command+o).

I have dark mode selected. However, when I select to open a file in VSCode, the finder window is still using the light theme instead of the dark theme as shown below.

Set defaults write com.microsoft.VSCode NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance 0 and use native tabs to get dark mode menus and titlebar.

Set defaults write com.microsoft.VSCode NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance 0 and use native tabs to get dark mode menus and titlebar.

@sozercan Perfect! Just a note for VSC Insiders users:

defaults write com.microsoft.VSCodeInsiders NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance 0
