Discogs Theme Generator

Generate color themes from Discogs album art. Pick a random vinyl release, extract colors from its cover, and apply the palette to your editor.

Works in VS Code, Cursor, and any editor that supports VS Code extensions.

Quick Start

Install the extension (from VSIX or marketplace)
Ctrl+Shift+P (or Cmd+Shift+P on Mac) → Open Discogs Theme Generator
Click From Discogs — a random release is fetched and its colors become your theme

From Discogs — fetches random vinyl releases and builds themes from album art
Generate Random — random color palettes without Discogs
History — browse and reload past themes
Auto-refresh — optional interval or on workspace open
Scope — apply to this window only or all windows

To create an installable .vsix file:

1. Install the packaging tool (once):

npm install -g @vscode/vsce

2. Package the extension:

vsce package

This produces a file like discogs-theme-generator-0.0.1.vsix in the project root.

# VS Code
code --install-extension discogs-theme-generator-0.0.1.vsix

# Cursor
cursor --install-extension discogs-theme-generator-0.0.1.vsix

Or: Extensions → ⋯ → Install from VSIX…

npm install
npm run watch

Press F5 in VS Code or Cursor to launch the Extension Development Host.
