Explore setting an existing theme per workspace #231

Open johnpapa opened 5 years ago

New feature.

Why?

It may be useful to have a specific theme set for a workspace. (light, dark, fonts, colors, etc)

Scenario:

User opens VS Code A with theme X
User executes a command to save that theme for this workspace
User opens another VS Code B with theme Y
User executes a command to save that theme for this workspace
User sets the theme for the user settings to theme Z
Now VS Code A uses theme X and VS Code B uses Y and any other VS Code instance uses Z

"workbench.colorTheme": "Winter is Coming (Dark Black)",

After researching the API, it appears the theme selection is not something we can tap into.

The idea behind this feature is that the user may want a theme for a specific workspace. Peacock could let the user select a theme for the workspace, save it to workspace settings,, and we're done.
