Italics-all-themes Extension for VS Code

This extension enables italics support for all themes in Visual Studio Code, except for those themes that explicitly mention "(no italics)" in their name.

Prerequisites

Before using this extension, ensure that:

1. You have a font installed and set in VS Code that supports italics.
2. Your VS Code settings are configured to use this font.

Without a font that supports italics, you won't see the italic styling even if the extension is active.

To set a font in VS Code:

1. Open Settings (File > Preferences > Settings)
2. Search for "Font Family"
3. Add or ensure your chosen font (that supports italics) is listed in the "Font Family" field

Popular coding fonts with italic support include:

• Fira Code
• JetBrains Mono
• Source Code Pro
• Cascadia Code

Features

• Automatically applies italics to various code elements across all supported themes
• Respects themes that specifically opt out of italics support
• Improves code readability by emphasizing important elements

Installation

1. Open Visual Studio Code
2. Go to the Extensions view (Ctrl+Shift+X)
3. Search for "Italics-all-themes"
4. Click Install

Usage

Once installed, the extension will automatically apply italics to supported themes. No additional configuration is required.

Manual Activation

If you need to manually apply the italics settings:

1. Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P)
2. Search for and select "Enable Italics-all-themes"
