Looped Editor Themes

Looped Automation's VS Code themes are generated from a structured TOML template system. This repository contains the source templates, the build tooling, and the prebuilt JSON themes that ship with the extension.

Prerequisites

• Git
• Python 3.13 or newer (the build script relies on the standard tomllib module)
• uv for managing the virtual environment and running commands

You can install uv with:

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

After installation, ensure uv is on your PATH and restart your shell if needed.

Getting Started

Clone the repository and install the dependencies into an isolated environment managed by uv:

git clone https://github.com/loopedautomation/editor-themes.git
cd editor-themes
uv sync

uv sync creates a dedicated virtual environment in .venv/ and installs the dependencies declared in pyproject.toml.

Building Themes

The build script compiles the TOML templates in src/themes/ into VS Code color themes under themes/.

Run a one-off build:

uv run build.py

Run the file watcher during active development (rebuilds whenever template files change):

uv run watch.py

Keep the watcher running while you edit files in src/templates/ or src/themes/. Generated JSON files appear in themes/ and are ready for testing in VS Code.

Testing in VS Code

1. Open the repository folder in VS Code.
2. Start the extension host (F5 or Run and Debug > Start Debugging).
3. In the Extension Development Host window, switch to the Looped Dark or Looped Light theme via the Command Palette.

The debugger automatically reloads whenever the generated theme JSON files change, so you can iterate quickly while the watcher is running.

Project Structure

• src/templates/ reusable color definitions and shared utilities
• src/themes/ top-level theme descriptors that import templates and overrides
• themes/ generated VS Code themes consumed by the extension
• build.py template compiler invoked by the watcher or directly
• watch.py filesystem watcher that rebuilds themes on change
• package.json VS Code extension manifest referencing generated themes

Warp Themes

• The terminal presets sit under warp/looped-dark.yaml and warp/looped-light.yaml.
• Run ./warp/install.sh to copy every YAML file in the folder into ~/.warp/themes/.
• After installation, open Warp → Settings → Themes and pick Looped Dark or Looped Light.

Oh My Posh Theme

• The prompt theme is in oh-my-posh/looped-dark.omp.json.
• Run ./oh-my-posh/install.sh to copy it into Homebrew's themes folder and wire it into .zshrc (backs up your existing config first).
• If you prefer manual setup, add eval "$(oh-my-posh init zsh --config $(brew --prefix oh-my-posh)/themes/looped-dark.omp.json)" to your shell init file.
