ThemeTuner

ThemeTuner is a tool to change/fix colors in your current theme. It scans all the colors defined in the theme and list it sorted by number of appearences.

How to use it

Install ThemeTuner, then press (Cmd+Shift+P on macOS or Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows and Linux) and type ThemeTuner: Open ThemeTuner and ThemeTuner will scan your current color palette automatically. We recommend to split the editor for a better experience debuging changes.

Once you do this you can see something like this:

How to preview

To modify a diferent theme, switch to another theme using Cmd+K+T on macOS or Ctrl+K+T on Windows and Linux. It will re-scan the new theme.

Interface:

This extension has the following structure:

  • Current theme name
  • Number of available colors
  • Reset button (it will override all customizations, even those made without ThemeTuner)
  • Refresh button (refresh in case that you made changes without ThemeTuner)
  • Color list (Every color has a color box, the hex code and the amount of properties where it is applied)

Considerations

If you need to customize separate properties, go to settings.json to do it manually(Press Ctrl+, or Cmd+, to go to settings).

ThemeTuner only show a list of the properties defined in your theme. If some property is missing, that means it is not defined and you have to add it manually.

Future features

Depending on demand, some features are coming(don't forget to rate it):

  • property filter
  • individual color change
  • alpha/transparency modification
  • add new filter
  • set custom color names
