We want developers to have the flexibility to personalize their Visual Studio IDE to fit their individual preferences, and themes are an important component for achieving this goal. We\u2019ve been testing out a Theme Converter that helps theme authors convert their Visual Studio Code themes to work in VS. Last week, we shared a collection of new community themes created using this tool<\/a>. Today, we\u2019d like to share with you a bit more detail about this converter tool, and how you can convert your own theme as well!<\/p>\n

\"Convert<\/a>
Convert VS Code Themes to Use in Visual Studio<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n

Using this tool, you can now convert any VS Code theme for use in Visual Studio 2022! This gives you access to a new range of themes inside the Visual Studio family, and if you use both Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code, you now have the extra flexibility to use the same theme for both platforms.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a VS Code theme author, you can now easily share your theme with a new range of users by packaging and uploading your theme to the Marketplace as well!<\/p>\n

Using the Theme Converter tool<\/h2>\n

The Theme Converter tool<\/a> converts color tokens from a VS Code theme and applies them to Visual Studio. We\u2019ve made efforts to ensure that even theme elements that are undefined will still be usable, through a fallback logic, which improves the appearance of the theme. Converted themes are most compatible with Visual Studio 2022 Preview 3 and above.<\/p>\n
