Can rstudioapi::getThemeInfo() be supported?

[MilesMcBain]

getThemeInfo() not currently supported. It is used by {thematic} to do automatic theming of ggplots:

Describe the solution you'd like
An implementation that works with {thematic}.

Describe alternatives you've considered
It might be possible to shim thematic itself if the theme info is too RStudio dependent.

Hi @MilesMcBain , did you end up looking at this? I'd be happy to give this a look :)

Edit:

It looks like getThemeInfo is expected to return a list like so:

list(
      editor = theme$name,
      global = global,
      dark = theme$isDark,
      foreground = foreground,
      background = background
   )

We can also access VSCode themeing via commands such as new vscode.ThemeColor('editor.background') and I think 1vscode.window.activeColorTheme` for dark/light info

Edit2:

OK, looks like ThemeColor doesn't pass a reference to the colour itself, just a pointer :(
See: microsoft/vscode#32813
The activeColorTheme works though.
