VSCode OS Theme Extension

This is a simple extension that makes sure VS Code uses a dark/light theme when your system uses a dark/light theme.

This was inspired by the themeswitch extension.

Features

This extension:

• Watches your system theme and sets a light/dark theme for VS-Code respectively
• Can change your system theme when you switch between a light/dark theme

Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

• os-theme.enabled: enable/disable this extension
• os-theme.darkTheme: Preferred dark theme
• os-theme.lightTheme: Preferred light theme
• os-theme.darkThemeCustomizations: Customizations to apply for the dark theme
• os-theme.lightThemeCustomizations: Customizations for the light theme
• os-theme.setOSTheme: Wether the OS Theme should be changed when switching between dark and light theme
• os-theme.darkOSTheme: The name of the preferred dark theme of the system - Does not have an effect under windows

Known Issues

This is tested on the following systems:

• Ubuntu 20
• Windows with powershell installed
  • The app theme setting of windows is not currently watched, so the VSCode theme only gets updated automatically when opening a new VSCode window
• MacOS (Darwin 21.3.0)
