Kob Theme

Four color themes for VS Code. Three share one teal accent; Kob Classic is a retro navy/gray one.

Theme Style
Kob Dark Deep dark with strong contrast
Kob Light Warm off-white, easy on the eyes
Kob Dim Soft, low-contrast dark with pastel syntax colors
Kob Classic Retro Win32 / Visual C++ MFC look: gray 3D-face panels, navy title bar and selection, steel-blue activity bar

Install

  1. Get the kob-theme-0.0.7.vsix file.
  2. In VS Code, open the Extensions view (Ctrl+Shift+X) → … menu → Install from VSIX… and pick the file. Or from a terminal: code --install-extension kob-theme-0.0.7.vsix
  3. Run Developer: Reload Window, then press Ctrl+K Ctrl+T and pick a Kob theme.

After installing a new version, always run Developer: Reload Window (or restart VS Code), otherwise the old colors stay loaded.

To remove it: Extensions view → Kob Theme → Uninstall.

Development

The theme files in themes/ are generated from the palettes in scripts/palettes.js.

npm run build     # regenerate themes/*.json and print a contrast report
npm run package   # build a .vsix (requires @vscode/vsce)

Publishing

npx vsce login thekaroe            # paste a Marketplace Personal Access Token
npx vsce publish --packagePath kob-theme-0.0.7.vsix

The token must be created in Azure DevOps with the Marketplace › Manage scope.

Press F5 in VS Code to open an Extension Development Host with the themes loaded.
