Expose raw theme colors?

[jlewin]

I'd really appreciate being able to hit a theme url, and pull down the color values for the theme. Any reason you wouldn't want to expose this data for use? Currently I can hit the homepage, browse to a theme I like and see its effect, but my only options are to export to vsix and vscode. If I could simply add ".json" to the theme url, and get at the underlying theme values, I could use these in creative ways, similar to if I take the time to extract them from vscode or the vxis.

Thought or concerns?

Yeah, it should be either copyable or exposed in some way. I just created a ticket to look into this. Thanks!

Great to hear. I ended up writing a parser for vsix files, which fits my immediate needs, but I'd still prefer to use the simplified color values from the themes.

Any chance this would be a good community contribution task? I could tackle it if you have guidance on how you'd like it implemented. Otherwise, I'll just keep an eye out for a future update.
