# vscode-theme-generator
|
|
|
|
⚠️ This is a preview that leverages the [upcoming VS Code theming options](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/3112), you will need to regenerate your theme when 1.12 is released and the API finalized
|
|
|
|
**The Problem**
|
|
|
|
- New themes are typically forked from other themes, carrying the bugs with them
|
|
- .tmThemes are overly verbose and difficult to maintain
|
|
- Themes are difficult to write from scratch
|
|
|
|
**The Solution**
|
|
|
|
What if all you needed to do to generate a theme was specify a few colors and everything else was handled for you? Well that's what this module aims to accomplish. All you need to do is specify a set of "base colors" (background, foreground and 4 accent colors) and you have a reasonably good looking theme.
|
|
|
|
All other VS Code theme colors are then derived from those base colors, with the option to tweak each underlying color as well.
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
This is all that's needed to generate a great looking theme:
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
import { generateTheme, IColorSet } from 'vscode-theme-generator';
|
|
const colorSet: IColorSet = {
|
|
base: {
|
|
background: '#12171F',
|
|
foreground: '#EFEFEF',
|
|
color1: '#399EF4',
|
|
color2: '#DA6771',
|
|
color3: '#4EB071',
|
|
color4: '#fff099',
|
|
}
|
|
};
|
|
generateTheme('My Theme', colorSet, path.join(__dirname, 'theme.json'));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Support
|
|
|
|
Support below means that the standard VS Code grammar has explicit support for the languages; the colors should match their meanings. Other languages will probably still look alright but there is no guarentee that they will.

- :white_check_mark: CSS
|
|
- :white_check_mark: JavaScript
|
|
- :white_check_mark: HTML
|
|
- :white_check_mark: TypeScript
|
|
- :white_check_mark: Markdown
|
|
- :white_check_mark: C#
|

|
## Development
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm run dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then in VS Code press <kbd>F5</kbd> to build demo and launch the debugger with the generated themes available to switch to.
