VSCode

Visual Studio Code can be themed using the NoctaliaTheme extension, which syncs with Noctalia’s color scheme.

  1. Install the NoctaliaTheme extension:

    • Open VSCode
    • Go to the Extensions view (Ctrl+Shift+X or Cmd+Shift+X)
    • Search for “NoctaliaTheme”
    • Click Install from the marketplace
  2. Enable VSCode theming in Noctalia:

    • Open Settings → Color Scheme → Templates
    • Toggle on VSCode
  3. Select the theme in VSCode:

    • Open Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P)
    • Type “Preferences: Color Theme”
    • Select NoctaliaTheme

The extension reads the color scheme generated by Noctalia’s color schemes integration. When you change color schemes in Noctalia, the theme in VSCode will automatically update to match.

  • Theme not appearing: Make sure you’ve installed the “NoctaliaTheme” extension from the VSCode marketplace
  • Colors not updating: The theme should update automatically when Noctalia generates new colors. If it doesn’t, try:
    • Reloading the VSCode window (Ctrl+Shift+P → “Developer: Reload Window”)
    • Switching to a different theme and back to NoctaliaTheme
  • Theme looks broken: Ensure you have the latest version of the extension and that Noctalia’s templates are generating correctly

NoctaliaTheme integrates directly with Noctalia’s color scheme system, providing a seamless theming experience across your desktop and code editor. The theme supports both dark and light modes based on your Noctalia color scheme settings.
