# Enable SynthWave ’84 Glow Effect on Ubuntu & Arch

SynthWave ’84

To enable the glow effect from the [Synth Wave ’84 extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=RobbOwen.synthwave-vscode) you should run the VS Code with administrative privileges.

In the Ubuntu & Arch systems, you shouldn’t run the VS Code with `sudo`.

Instead, run this command in the Terminal.

Open the Command Palette in VS Code with `Ctrl+Shift+P` and run `Enable Neon Dreams`.

Restart the VS Code and you will see the fancy glow effect.
