Desktop Entry files

This extension allows VS Code to highlight the syntax of a desktop entry file (.desktop), much like in gedit.

For the full documentation of .desktop files, visit the freedesktop specification.

  • Theme: Monokai Dark

Theme Index Files

Additionally, this extension highlights [X-GNOME-Metatheme] and it's keys.

Features

  1. Syntax Highlighting for .desktop files.
  2. Extra syntax highlighting for Theme Index files.
  3. Support for extensions to the format by using X-.
  4. Folding regions through the use of #region and #endregion. This is not officially part of the specification, but it should help you.
