Make importedThemes updates conflict-safe.
addImportedTheme and removeImportedTheme write the complete local array as the importedThemes value. The server merge-patches preference keys but replaces the value for an existing key. Concurrent saves can therefore discard another device's import or removal. Use independently mergeable records or a revisioned read-modify-write with conflict retry.

Thanks for the review — four of the five findings were real and are fixed in cfd209a. Details below, including the one I'd rather not take. Fixed1. Uncontrolled buffering on download ( 2. Uncompressed extraction budget ( 3. Trailing-comma removal inside strings ( 4. Malformed persisted theme records ( Not taking: conflict-safe

Extracts the palette out of index.css into src/shared/themes, and builds palettes from the user's own VS Code themes: a .vsix is unzipped in the browser, and Marketplace/Open VSX URLs are fetched through an allowlisted proxy. A theme that fixes its appearance drives the dark class.

Implements the theme registry requested in #1105, and takes the "import a VS Code theme" idea further than a second hardcoded palette.
What this does
The colour tokens leave
src/index.cssforsrc/shared/themes/, and a registry decides which set is in force. Rather than shipping a second built-in palette, the app can read the themes a user already has: a*-color-theme.json, a whole.vsixextension, or a Marketplace / Open VSX URL.Point by point against the design in the issue:
:root/.darkcolour blocks move verbatim intosrc/shared/themes/default.css. They stay on the bare selectors rather than[data-theme="default"], so an unstyled first paint and a user whose stored theme no longer exists both land on the defaults; themes override with:root[data-theme=…], which outranks them whatever the bundle order. No visual change to the default look.ThemeContext. Now exposescolorTheme,setColorTheme,availableThemes,addImportedTheme,removeImportedThemeandcanToggleDarkMode. NamedcolorThemerather thanthemebecause the existingthemepreference already means light/dark. Persisted through the existing server-side preference store, so a palette follows the user across devices like their other settings.src/shared/themes/index.ts. Adding a built-in theme is one CSS file, one side-effect import and one entry.meta[name="theme-color"]. Read off the resolved--backgroundinstead of the two hardcoded hex values, so every palette — including one nobody could have hardcoded — gets a matching status bar.Light/dark is still its own axis — with one twist
The default theme ships both variants and leaves the toggle to the user. An imported palette states which of the two it is, and the
darkclass follows that statement: ~770dark:-prefixed utility classes read it, so a dark palette rendered without it would put light-mode text on dark surfaces. While such a theme is active the dark-mode toggle is disabled and says so, and the command-palette entry is hidden. Switching back to the default restores the user's own light/dark choice, which was never overwritten.Importing
.vsix— unzipped in the browser withjszip(already a client dependency, loaded through a dynamicimport()). Readsextension/package.json, imports every theme the extension contributes, and resolvesincludechains, which only works from inside the archive. Variants are labelled from the manifest, the way VS Code's own picker labels them.*-color-theme.json— a hand-written JSONC parser, because published themes are full of//notes and trailing commas thatJSON.parserejects. Translucent surfaces (#ffffff0a) are flattened against the background, since anhsl()triplet has nowhere to put the alpha.POST /api/themes/download. The server returns the raw archive and the browser does the parsing, so the file picker and the URL share one implementation of the colour mapping.The 19 semantic roles are filled from a chain of fallbacks per role, with anything missing derived from the two keys no theme can omit. Two mapping decisions came out of testing against real themes:
activityBarBadge.background/textLink.foregroundbeforebutton.background— One Dark Pro's button is a flat grey and Solarized Light's is olive, which drained the whole UI.Security
/api/themes/downloadfetches a user-supplied URL from inside the server's network, so it is constrained: https only, a host allowlist (marketplace.visualstudio.com,open-vsx.org,openvsx.eclipsecontent.org,*.gallerycdn.vsassets.io), redirects followed by hand with the allowlist re-checked on every hop, a 30 s timeout and a 60 MB ceiling enforced on both the header and the body. A test covers the SSRF shape: a registry URL bouncing to169.254.169.254is refused.Screenshots
The theme picker
One
.vsixcontributes several themes and all of them are registered. The dark-mode row reads "This theme sets its own light or dark appearance" and is disabled, because the active palette states which it is.Importing from a Marketplace or Open VSX URL
The same workspace under four palettes
Testing
npm run typecheck,npm run lintandnpm run buildare clean.darkclass, a deleted palette falling back without erasing the stored choice), the JSON importer (JSONC, alpha flattening, appearance classification, the two mapping decisions above), the.vsiximporter (multi-theme extensions,includechains, manifest labels, partial failures) and the download service (URL resolution, redirect allowlist, SSRF refusal, size ceiling)..vsix. The screenshots above are that session.Known limitations
--cc-syntax-*, derived at runtime from two fixed Prism themes. Mapping an imported theme'stokenColorsonto them is the obvious follow-up, and it touches the chat module, so it is kept out of this change.text-whiteand ~300dark:bg-gray-*occurrences are hardcoded in components, which caps how far any palette can go. It shows on a light palette with a pale accent: the send button's arrow stays white instead of following--primary-foreground. Worth a separate pass over those classes.Question for the maintainers
The issue asked whether theming should live in core or ship as plugins. This is the core-first version, since plugins currently have no way to touch global styles. If you would rather core only exposed the registry and the hook, the split point is
src/shared/themes/index.tsand the import modules next to it — happy to rework it that way.Closes #1105
