Research direction
Start by reproducing the C++ example in VS Code and compare Dracula's highlighting with Microsoft's Dark theme and the referenced C++ theme extension. Done means member variables and local variables are visibly distinguished, with styling that matches the intended Visual Studio and VS Code presentation.

Description
The root of my issue report is that the VS Code Dracula theme does not distinguish between member variables and local variables:
--
The Dracula theme for Visual Studio does support this:
The colors and styling also do not match between the two which is why I am unsure if C++ is even supported for the VS Code theme.
Microsoft's official Dark themes for both Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code both distinguish between member variables and local variables.
Visual Studio on the left. VS Code on the right
Their theme extension itself mentions that the ability for VS Code themes to do this was added in an update in 2019.
I much prefer Dracula to Microsoft's Dark theme, but I'd like it to match across IDEs.
