Zeco Theme

A carefully tuned dark color theme for Visual Studio Code, created by zeco.

Features

• Balanced contrast for UI and code editor
• Custom bracket highlights and gutter colors
• TextMate and semantic token colors
• Tuned for long coding sessions

Installation

Visual Studio Code Marketplace

1. Open the Extensions view in Visual Studio Code.
2. Search for Zeco Theme.
3. Install the extension.
4. Select Zeco Theme Dark from the Color Theme picker.

VSIX package

1. Press Ctrl+Shift+P and run Extensions: Install from VSIX....
2. Choose the packaged .vsix file.
3. Select Zeco Theme Dark from the Color Theme picker.

Development

• Update themes/dark.json to adjust theme colors.
• Update package.json metadata before each release.
• Record user-visible changes in CHANGELOG.md.

Packaging

npm ci
npm run validate
npm run vsix

Every push to main and every pull request targeting main runs the package workflow. The resulting zeco-theme.vsix is available as a GitHub Actions artifact.

Automated publishing

Publishing requires access to the zeco publisher on the Visual Studio Code Marketplace. Add a repository Actions secret named VSCE_PAT containing the Marketplace personal access token.

To publish a release:

1. Update version in package.json and package-lock.json with npm run patch or npm run minor.
2. Update CHANGELOG.md, commit the release changes, and push main.
3. Create and push a tag matching the package version exactly:

$version = node -p "require('./package.json').version"
git tag "v$version"
git push origin "v$version"

The release workflow validates the tag, packages the extension, publishes that exact VSIX to the Visual Studio Marketplace, and creates a GitHub Release with the VSIX attached. A mismatched tag and package version stops the release.
