1 year ago Themes come with theme files, and we need to load them. As we can only do this once the extension host is up and loading can take a while, we show the colors that we had on shutdown. That's why you see the flashing.
The fix would be to cache the preferred light/dark themes as well.
Type: Bug
When I have light and dark mode themes configured and have a default theme which is light in my config, and I turn on dark mode in my system (macOS), and then start VS code, I see the default theme which is light flash before turning black. Ideal behaviour would be no flash of default theme when starting up.
Duplicate of https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/95190.
Edit: reopened as the previous issue was locked.
