[themes] Add a light/dark theme context variable #224927

Open soyrubio opened 2 months ago

soyrubio commented 2 months ago

It would be beneficial to have a context variable available showing if the current theme is light or dark, i.e. usesLightTheme and usesDarkTheme.

The vscode API already allows you to get that information:

window.activeColorTheme.kind

Is that good enough? If not can you elaborate on your use case?

Note if your extension has code you could use that API to create a context variable (that encapsulates even more state)

Thanks, didn't know about window.activeColorTheme.kind, this solves the issue 👍
