Positron IDE with Editor Color Themes (Public Beta)

[@carvalhoribeiro]

Great and thanks for sharing this. Is it possible to edit a chosen theme and change/apply a different background color for example?

[@thecoatlessprofessor7674]

Yes, you can select a theme and, then, personalize it by adding into the user settings. Use CMD + SHIFT + P on macOS or CNTRL + SHIFT + P on Windows and search for: Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON) Next, use the following to change the sidebar color only under the Monokai theme: ``` "workbench.colorCustomizations": { "[Monokai]": { "sideBar.background": "#347890" } } ``` Switch [Monokai] with the relevant theme name and use relevant keys via: code.visualstudio.com/api/references/theme-color Section on Customizing a Theme: code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/themes#_customize-a-color-theme

Hi! I'm wondering which software you're using for layout of the keyboard input on the bottom?

Videos are recorded using Screenflow (macOS app).

Hei! Do you know if there's some way to have different colour for code and output in the console?

[@thecoatlessprofessor7674]

Not that I'm aware of. I do know that if you directly write into the console there is some highlighting that is applied. However, once the code is executed then it is just treated as output. Since they tried to stick a bit close to what is possible with VS Code's theming, maybe check inside the theme file? github.com/posit-dev/positron/blob/f82368fc01eb72ff844d304174eeb81a585477ce/extensions/theme-defaults/themes/light_modern.json The reference spec for a VS Code theme is over at: code.visualstudio.com/api/references/theme-color You could also raise this as a question on the Positron repository's discussion board: github.com/posit-dev/positron/discussions
