Auto Project Theme

Automatically assigns a random color theme to each project so your VS Code windows are visually distinct.

Notice, this extension was vibe coded. Use at your own risk.

How it works

• When you open a folder that doesn't have a theme set in .vscode/settings.json, the extension picks a random light/dark theme pair and applies it
• A confirmation dialog lets you keep the theme, try a different one, or cancel
• Choosing "Keep" saves the theme to the project's .vscode/settings.json
• The extension automatically pairs light and dark variants of the same theme (e.g. "Solarized Light" and "Solarized Dark")

Commands

• AutoProjectTheme: Edit theme pool - opens a multi-select picker to choose which installed themes to include in your random pool
• AutoProjectTheme: Select a different random theme for this project - picks a new random theme and shows the confirmation dialog
• AutoProjectTheme: Toggle use all installed themes - toggles between using the curated pool or all installed themes

Settings

• autoProjectTheme.autoTriggerOnWindowOpen - automatically assign a theme when a folder is opened (default: true)
• autoProjectTheme.randomThemePool - list of theme names to randomly pick from; light and dark types are detected automatically
• autoProjectTheme.useAllInstalledThemes - use all installed themes instead of only those in the random theme pool (default: false)

Getting started

1. Install the extension
2. Either:
   • Toggle "use all installed themes" with the command palette, or
   • Add themes to your pool one at a time: switch to a theme you like, then run "Add current theme to pool"
3. Open a project without a theme set and the extension will pick one for you
