Lambda Anysphere

Lambda Anysphere is a VS Code color theme optimised for Haskell with extra syntax colors for more language scopes. It's based on Lambda Black and replaced with colors from Anysphere Modern.

Installation

You can get Lambda Anysphere on:

• Visual Studio Marketplace

Or install it from source:

1. Install dependencies:

   • git
   • nix

2. Clone the repo, build and install the extension:

   git clone --depth 1 git@github.com:kodeFant/lambda-anysphere.git && {
     cd lambda-anysphere
   
     nix-shell -- If you have only Nix installed  
     -- or nix develop - If you have flake enabled
     -- direnv allow -- If you have direnv installed and want automatic shell loading
   
     nix build
   
     code --install-extension result/lambda-anysphere.vsix
     # Alernatively Ctrl+Shift+P -> Shell Command: Install from VSIX...
   }
   

Customisation

To change how something is highlighted, proceed as follows:

• While browsing code containing highlighting you'd like to change, start the TextMate scope inspector as follows:
  • open the VS Code Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P),
  • start typing "Inspect Editor Tokens and Scopes" and select this item from the dropdown menu.
• Click on the code whose highlighting you'd like to change; this will display the TextMate scopes associated to that piece of code. For instance, if in a Haskell source file is given the scope keyword.control.if.haskell.
• Open your settings.json file:
  • open the VS Code Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P),
  • start typing "Open Settings (JSON)" and select this item from the dropdown menu.
• Make the modifications by editing the value of editor.tokenColorCustomizations in your settings. For instance, to highlight if and then in red and else in blue, one would write:

    "editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
      "textMateRules": [
        {
          "scope": [ "keyword.control.if", "keyword.control.then" ],
          "settings": {
            "foreground": "#ff0000"
          }
        },
        {
          "scope": "keyword.control.else",
          "settings": {
            "foreground": "#0000ff"
          }
        }
      ]
    }
