Upgrade to VS2019

[justcla]

The Color Themes extension needs to be upgraded so that it runs on VS2019.

Update source.extension.manifest. Increase (or remove) the max Core Editor prerequisite.

Change: Version="[15.0,16.0)" To: Version="[15.0,)"

Hey Justin - we're upgrading to vs 2019 on the Microsoft owned extension - https://github.com/Microsoft/VS-ColorThemes And planning to port the marketplace extension to the same publisher as Color Theme Editor so that we can publish to the marketplace as well, since the source repo on GitHub is under the Microsoft account as well. Sound good?

Unfortunately changing version won't help, here is modified version:

On installation I get an error:

as it seems like Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.CoreEditor doesn't exist in 2019. Did anyone succeed in doing this?

I've managed to install this extension to VS2019. It was enough to apply the same change also in catalog.json and manifest.json files.
