Story Dark Theme

A dark theme for VS Code inspired by the styles of One Monokai and One Dark Pro.

Supports VS Code 1.143 and later. Includes TextMate syntax colors, a full ANSI terminal palette, and colors for Git, diffs, inline hints, sticky scroll, chat, agent sessions, notebooks, and testing.

Install from Marketplace

In VS Code, open Extensions, search for Story Dark Theme by StoryTW, install it, and choose Story Dark Theme from Preferences: Color Theme.

Install locally

1. Download or build story-dark-1.0.0.vsix.
2. In VS Code, run Extensions: Install from VSIX... and select the file.
3. Run Preferences: Color Theme and select Story Dark Theme.

Preview and develop

Open this folder in VS Code and press F5 to launch the Preview Story Dark configuration. In the Extension Development Host, select Story Dark Theme from the color theme picker. Changes to the theme JSON are applied live.

The theme lives in themes/Story-Dark-color-theme.json. color.scss documents the palette; it is not compiled or loaded by VS Code.

Syntax highlighting is defined by TextMate rules. User settings and language extensions can override the resulting colors.

Build

Use Node.js 22 or later:

npm ci
npm run package

The generated VSIX contains the theme, manifest, icon, license, and documentation. There is no extension runtime or compilation step.

Publish

The manifest uses the Marketplace publisher ID StoryTW. Build the VSIX with npm run package, then upload it through the publisher management page. See the official publishing guide for Marketplace setup and publishing options.
