🎨 PaletteSwap VS Code Extension

About the Developer

Sahil Sharma

Hi, I’m Sahil Sharma — a passionate full-stack developer focused on building tools that improve productivity and developer experience.

I specialize in Chrome Extensions and VS Code Extensions, with a solid background in modern web technologies.

PaletteSwap is part of my mission to make development not only functional but also enjoyable through better customization.

👉 To learn more, click "About the Developer" from the extension menu inside VS Code.


🌈 Overview

PaletteSwap is a lightweight and visually appealing VS Code extension that allows developers to quickly apply color themes to their editor’s UI components like the status bar, activity bar, and title bar — directly from a simple Quick Pick menu.

It’s perfect for developers who want to personalize their workspace or quickly test how colors look against their current theme.
