Add theme to Color Themes extension for Visual Studio

[justcla]

Can this theme be bundled with the other free themes in the Visual Studio extension Color Themes for Visual Studio ?

Hey @epidemicz, would you be able to make this happen?

[epidemicz]

@zenorocha Let me take a look and see what I can do.

[epidemicz]

Okay, I've sent them a pull request.

Thanks for the suggestion.

[zenorocha]

Thank you for working on those issues @epidemicz!

My understanding is that the Color Themes in visual studio have two parts:

• Syntax highlighting (this repo)
• GUI elements (menus, toolbars, etc)

Would anyone be interested in a theme for the GUI elements? I've created one that I use personally:

It uses the dracula colors and is a bit muted, so the focus can be mostly on the code. If there's interest, I can make a PR.

@waf I'm looking for this exact thing and am very interested.

@benjaminsampica I've attached the theme, see the readme inside. Dracula Visual Studio UI Theme.zip

@epidemicz I'm happy to turn this into a PR if you'd like. It's one additional file, a .vstheme file that contains an XML definition.

Great job. I used your theme and fixed some things:

• invisible region symbols (on the left side of page)
• overview
• SQL colors
• make colors scheme as much as possible as for visual studio code (Methods and Properties colors)
• remove black background when selecting text

Will this ever get an official release?

Any chance of being released officially? IMO, this must be the official way of installing the theme... Looks perfect!

[justcla]

No, there's pretty much no chance any additional themes will be added to Visual Studio's default theme set.

That's why I created the Color Themes extension.

Well... at least should be the official way explained in Dracula's documentation, makes no sense only changing the text editor color scheme tbh.
