Usage

Command

You will be prompted to enter the theme name because unfortunately at this time there is no VSCode API to get the name of the current active theme (if you know of one, please let me know!).

Once it completes, the result will be automatically copied to your clipboard.

Now open your WT settings file (Ctrl+, in WT by default), and paste the JSON into the schemes array.

See the docs for more info on using WT color schemes.
