What's new in Tachi Code v1.6.0?

This release focuses on expanding theme customization with new Import Color Theme... and Uninstall Color Theme commands to allow you to easily import and manage your favorite VS Code themes.

To import a theme:

  1. Install your desired theme in VS Code
  2. Generate a color scheme file by running the Developer: Generate Color Theme From Current Settings command from the VS Code command palette.
  3. Save the generated file to your computer.
  4. In Tachi Code, open the command palette and run the Import Color Theme... command and select the color scheme file you saved in step 3.

The community theme collection has been expanded as well, adding several new community themes to choose from. These new community themes have been ported from Shiki’s collection of TextMate/VS Code themes to the Tachi Code community themes repository and are available as optional downloads.

Access the new themes by opening the theme picker with Preferences: Color Theme and selecting the + Browse Additional Themes option.

Lastly, this release includes a few small changes in Tachi Code’s TextMate to Monaco theme adapter to be able to better handle third-party themes that have problems like missing or invalid color definitions.

If you recently updated Tachi Code and haven’t read the release notes for v1.5.0 yet, be sure to check them out here for details on larger new features like dynamic editor group layouts and the keyboard shortcut editor.

Enjoy!
