Nord (with Dark+ syntax)

This fork keeps the Nord workbench/UI experience while overlaying the VS Code Dark+ (default dark) token colors so keywords, strings, functions, classes, etc. match the VS Code default look & feel.

Features

• Nord UI colors remain untouched (themes/nord-color-theme.json → colors).
• Syntax colors (tokenColors, semanticTokenColors) are now identical to Dark+.
• Scripts for regenerating the Dark+ snapshot and reapplying it are included under tools/.

Installation

1. Build the extension: npm ci && npm run build.

2. Install the generated .vsix via Extensions: Install from VSIX... or:

   code --install-extension ./nord-visual-studio-code-with-dark-editor-*.vsix
   

3. After installation, confirm syntax tokens match Dark+ by toggling between the two themes and optionally running Developer: Inspect Editor Tokens and Scopes.

Build / Update instructions

• Update the Dark+ snapshot (resolves include chains) and reapply it:

  node tools/extract-vscode-theme.mjs \
    --in /usr/share/code/resources/app/extensions/theme-defaults/themes/dark_plus.json \
    --out reference/dark-plus.effective.json
  
  node tools/apply-darkplus-syntax.mjs \
    --nord themes/nord-color-theme.json \
    --darkplus reference/dark-plus.effective.json
  

• Rebuild: npm run build.

  • npm run clean removes existing .vsix.
  • vsce package produces nord-visual-studio-code-with-dark-editor-*.vsix.
