LiG Theme for VS Code

Less is Great. Four variants from the canonical LiG palette: LiG Light, LiG Dark, LiG Light Paper, LiG Dark Paper.

Install

Download theme-lig-0.2.1.vsix from GitHub Releases, then:

code --install-extension theme-lig-0.2.1.vsix

Or use Extensions: Install from VSIX... in VS Code, then Preferences: Color Theme. The extension keeps its original ID froQ.theme-lig. Stable GitHub Releases trigger the Marketplace workflow after the one-time OIDC setup; check the workflow result before assuming the store has updated. Minimum VS Code version: 1.107.0.

Migrate from Soft or Preview

Version 0.2.0 replaces the old independently authored palettes. Select LiG Light Paper / LiG Dark Paper in place of Soft and update any workbench.colorTheme or preferred-theme settings. Soft is no longer contributed as a separate theme. The older froQ.theme-lig-preview extension is independent; disable or uninstall that extension to avoid selecting an old preview.

Optional system appearance switching (merge into your existing settings):

{
  "window.autoDetectColorScheme": true,
  "workbench.preferredLightColorTheme": "LiG Light Paper",
  "workbench.preferredDarkColorTheme": "LiG Dark Paper"
}

To roll back, install an older release VSIX and restore its theme name in settings.

Source and reproducibility

This repository distributes static native JSON, with no executable extension code or installation-time token downloads. Change colors and bindings in the LiG source snapshot; run pnpm ports:generate there. Import the generated payload with python3 scripts/sync.py /path/to/lig/dist/ports/vscode, then python3 scripts/verify.py (Python 3.11+).

Package a local VSIX with npx @vscode/vsce package --no-dependencies. No palette build is performed here. lig-build.json records every generated file checksum.

Design: 0.2.14 · Compiler: 0.7.0 Input SHA-256: 9705c4aa12561ea16d5f0aaf7f3fad839d12ec0412a4a82f32a6c50139f4b154

Scope and manual checks

The adapter covers 191 Workbench keys, TextMate scopes, semantic tokens and the same 16 terminal slots as the other LiG ports. Language grammars and language servers may classify source differently. Semantic token availability depends on the language extension and user settings.

Data and package checks do not establish visual acceptance. Check all four themes in VS Code: UI and panels, syntax with semantic highlighting on/off, strings/comments, diagnostics/selections and terminal ANSI colors. Existing user color customizations can override the theme.
