Convert VS Code themes to Visual Studio

in this video we're going to convert a
vs code color theme to visual studio in
a few easy
steps we start in vs code by making sure
that the theme we want to export is also
the one that's
active then using the command pallet
we're going to invoke the command for
generating a color theme from the
current
settings that will generate a huge Json
file with all the color Tok tokens from
the theme so all we have to do now is to
save it on
disk back in Visual Studio 20122 we're
going to create a new extension project
I'm going to search for V6 and select
the empty V6 project
template let's call this project my
theme in the project I can now add an
existing item and in the dialogue select
to show all files so we can see the new
Json C file that we exported from vs
code
that brings it into my project and I can
now right click and say convert to
visual studio
theme it will produce a code behind file
a package St this is the visual studio
theme file format and all I have to do
now is to register it with the V6
manifest so I'm going to open that file
and click the assets Tab and select a
new vs package then point to a file on
the file system and notice how it
already suggest the package that file
that was generated for
me I can now test by hitting F5 to open
a new instance of Visual
Studio when I go to the tools menu I
should be able to see my new theme show
up and clicking that will select it and
show it right
here this works for any vs code color
theme all you have to do is to install
the vs code theme converter extension
into Visual Studio that enables the
conversion of the Json C color theme
file into the package def
file this is what makes it all so easy
you can get that extension for free at
the visual studio Marketplace
