Tinting

Live colorization for tinting tags (@COLOR[text]@) inside VS Code, with hover-to-change-color.

This is an auxiliary extension for the Python package tinting, which provides terminal colorization using @COLOR[text]@ tags. The extension renders those tags inline in the editor so you can see the colors while you write.

Features

Live colorization of @COLOR[text]@ tags in Python files.
Hover a tag to see a color swatch and change the color on the spot.
Toggle colorization on/off from the status bar or the editor toolbar.
Toggle tag marker visibility (@COLOR[ and ]@) to focus on the colored text.
Insert tinting snippets via the command palette.
Toggle style modifiers (bold, italic, underline, etc.).
Configurable background opacity so editor selection highlights still show through.

Requirements

Install the Python package (optional, only needed if you also want terminal output):

pip install tinting
