How to access devtools theme CSS from an extension panel?
I have an extension that has a devtools panel. I want to match the colors in my panel to what is currently being used in the devtools theme. Is this fetchable somehow from the devtools panel context?
Hi @JustinGrote, we recently deprecated the Visual Studio Code themes, so we only support the default Light+ and Dark+ themes now. You can use 'prefers-color-scheme' to detect which one is being used and respond on their panels accordingly. prefers-color-scheme - CSS: Cascading Style Sheets | MDN
OK but is there no way to access the existing styling and colors for the light and dark themes? Do I have to hardcode the values based on what it is today? What if it changes?
Unfortunately, there's no programmatic access existing today. I'll file this as a feature request on the engineering team's backlog for consideration. Thank you for your feedback!
