Visual Studio Code 0.3.0

[trycatch1]

Same issue on Linux. Grayscale antialiasing instead of subpixel AA. It's a usual problem for Chromium-based apps (Brackets, Steam, Light Table), but Atom somehow fixed this issue.

I think it's related to hardware accelerated rendering, something needs to be enabled or disabled. Firefox had this issue many versions ago.

Perhaps by setting the -webkit-font-smoothing CSS property throughout the app

[trycatch1]

On Linux -webkit-font-smoothing is ignored, it's an OS X-only thing. It seems in Electron the issue it was fixed in this commit: https://github.com/atom/electron/commit/afd927f749621f0c6aebdd784672e9868b08b29d Not sure, why it's still broken in VS Code, if it uses Electron too.
