# Welcome to your VS Code Extension

## What's in the folder

-   This folder contains all of the files necessary for your color theme extension.
-   `package.json` - this is the manifest file that defines the location of the theme file and specifies the base theme of the theme.
-   `themes/Overnight-color-theme.json` - the color theme definition file.

## Get up and running straight away

-   Press `F5` to open a new window with your extension loaded.
-   Open `File > Preferences > Color Themes` and pick your color theme.
-   Open a file that has a language associated. The languages' configured grammar will tokenize the text and assign 'scopes' to the tokens. To examine these scopes, invoke the `Inspect TM Scopes` command from the Command Palette (`Ctrl+Shift+P` or `Cmd+Shift+P` on Mac) .

## Make changes

-   Changes to the theme file are automatically applied to the Extension Development Host window.

## Adopt your theme to Visual Studio Code

-   The token colorization is done based on standard TextMate themes. Colors are matched against one or more scopes.

To learn more about scopes and how they're used, check out the [color theme](https://code.visualstudio.com/api/extension-guides/color-theme) documentation.

## Install your extension

-   To start using your extension with Visual Studio Code copy it into the `<user home>/.vscode/extensions` folder and restart Code.
-   To share your extension with the world, read on https://code.visualstudio.com/docs about publishing an extension.
