Vscode:  
  
Cursor:

All settings are the same, I just installed & imported everything. Is there a way to fix this?

Hi @emilcarney,

I can’t see your images on my screen, they seem to be ‘private images’? The URLs of the images start with this:

```auto

https://private-user-images.githubusercontent.com/

```

Try changing the theme on cursor to the same theme you use on VSCode. That seemed to work for me.
