Creating Custom VSCode Themes | How I built one | Complete Step By Step Process

STEP 1 :


Install Yo Code Generator : Yo Code Generator Docs

npm install -g yo generator-code

Run It :  

yo code



    Select -> New Color Theme


    Select -> Start Fresh and Give it  Name , Description
    Also Select -> Dark / Light / High Contrast based on what theme you want


STEP : 2

    cd into your theme folder

    To See your Theme in action Press "F5" Run->Start Debugging to see a new window popup with your new Theme





    * If you had multiple environments setup in your VSCode it may probably ask you to Select one , I overcame this by Choosing the launch.json and Adding Configuration for VScode Extension and Select Launch Extension in your Debug window





STEP 3 :


    The Themes .json file is where all the magic happens . You can change individual colors and see how it changes your theme . 

Tools like Ctrl + Shift + P  -> Developer: Inspect TM Scopes , can help you inspect specific elements .

    




    You can either use tools like : Coolors or hexcolor to generate a color palette

    I used an awesome website made by Coder Coder : VScode Color Theme Generator which makes the entire process hassle free 

    If you want to publish your theme in the market Place check out this : Publishing Docs

STEP 5:


    Change "Cursor" into Iron Man Style , to do that install : Power Mode Extension  and you can add your custom gif as cursor .


So the steps are

1 . Install Power Mode Extension 

2 . Go to settings -> Extensions -> Power Mode -> And there you can find different options on the extension -> Select Edit in settings.json 

3 . To add custom git - You can either download the gif or use url

I used iron man gif

To make this as your cursor add the following code in your settings.json file :

"powermode.enabled": true,
"powermode.enableEditorComboCounter": true,

"powermode.enableShake": true,
"powermode.customExplosions": [
    "explosion gif",
    "Iron man gif",
],

"powermode.explosionSize":6,
"powermode.explosionDuration": 290,
"powermode.backgroundMode": "image",
"powermode.customCss": {
    "top": "-50px",
},
"powermode.explosionOrder": "sequential",


The first link in the powermode.customExplosions is the link for particles effect and the second one is the iron man gif

Do use appropriate links while inserting in your code








The Code I used to get the best Result : 



FINAL STEP :


    The Final Step is to just enjoy Using Your Theme , No need to waste time searching for the Perfect Theme , Just Create One . Share it with someone who needs it .
