Dynamically change your VS Code theme using flavours and base16

README.md

If you want flavours to be able to automatically configure your VS Code color scheme:

• Install https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=golf1052.base16-generator
• Enable all themes

Add this in your ~/.config/flavours/config.toml

[[items]]
file = "/tmp/.ignoreme"
template = "vscode"
rewrite = true
hook = "theme-vscode"

And add theme-vscode to your PATH somewhere

theme-vscode

#!/bin/sh -x
set -e

THEME=$(cat ~/.local/share/flavours/lastscheme)
if grep -q "light" <<< $THEME
then
    THEME_NAME=$(jq .name ~/.vscode/extensions/golf1052.base16-generator-1.19.1/themes/base16-$THEME.json)
else
    THEME_NAME=$(jq .name ~/.vscode/extensions/golf1052.base16-generator-1.19.1/themes/base16-$THEME-dark.json)
fi

jq '.["workbench.colorTheme"] = '"$THEME_NAME"  ~/.config/Code/User/settings.json | sponge ~/.config/Code/User/settings.json
