Visual studio code color theme not taking


I am using VsCode version 1.30.1.

I have forked a color theme on github, and can't get it to work.

I cloned the repo into my .vscode/extensions folder.

The color theme shows up when I go to color theme selector is VsCode.

But when I set the color theme, it does not change, even after a reboot.

Is there a way I could get a verbose log from the application when it tries to load the plugin?


Solution

  • You can open a developer window by going to Help > Toggle Developer Tools to get more visibility of the errors from load attempts. Also if you open the files in VS code the syntax highlighting will also show the errors in the files in your case.

    The specific errors are comments in your .json files, you can not have comments in a .json and a missing , on line 20 of plastic-theme.json
