Twitch Themer

A Visual Studio Code extension that listens to twitch chat and allows viewers to change the streamers VS Code theme by using the !theme command.

Quickstart Guide

To connect to your Twitch channel, click the Accounts button and click "Sign in with Twitch to use Twitch Themer".

This will open a browser to authorize Twitch Themer to access your Twitch chat.

Once you've authorized Twitch Themer, you can join Twitch chat by using the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) and searching for "Twitch Themer: Toggle Chat".

Once you've used Twitch Themer, an icon will display in the status bar allowing you to toggle the connection to Twitch chat.

Then you're done. Now viewers can use the !theme command to change your VS Code theme.

Twitch Chat Commands

!theme {theme name}

This command will set the theme of the streamers' VS Code workspace to the theme specified.

!theme Dracula

Note: The theme must be previously installed and available within VS Code.

!theme random

This command will set the theme of the streamers' VS Code workspace to a theme that is chosen at random. If dark or light is specified it will only select a random theme from the appropriate option.

!theme random

!theme random dark

!theme random light

!theme install

This command will look for the specified theme on the Visual Studio Marketplace. If found, it will attempt to pull the package.json for the theme from its repository. If that package.json includes themes, the streamer will be prompted to install, not install and/or preview the theme.

!theme install {Theme Unique Identifier}

Example: For the Linux Themes for VS Code extension, you would send !theme install solarliner.linux-themes

!theme reset

This command will set the theme of the streamers' VS Code workspace back to the theme that was used at the time the extension connected to chat.

!theme reset

Note: Every time the extension disconnects from chat, the theme will be reset.

This will send the currently active theme to Twitch chat.

Settings

Access State

On the settings UI, you can specify whether the extension should only react to all viewers, followers, VIPs, subscribers, moderators, or only the broadcaster.

Auto Connect

This setting will toggle whether the extension will automatically connect to Twitch when you launch Visual Studio Code.

The extension will ensure you are streaming prior to connecting the bot to the Twitch chat service.

Twitch Channel to Join

By default, the extension will join the Twitch chat of the authenticated user. However, you can specify a different channel to join here. This is useful if you want to use a second "bot" account to send messages to chat.

Auto Install

This setting will toggle whether the extension will automatically install requested themes or show a prompt.

Command Triggers

You can change the trigger commands for the bot. For example, you can change !theme to !colour by changing the Theme Command setting.
