Aperture - Theme Toggle

A pragmatic, lightweight extension to toggle between light and dark themes with a single interaction. Built for VS Code and compatible forks (e.g., Cursor, Antigravity).

Features

• Status Bar Integration: Provides a persistent, native-feeling pill in your status bar indicating your current theme mode (enabled by default).
• Title Bar Icon: Adds a subtle icon to your editor title bar for quick toggling (can be enabled in settings).
• Two Modes: Cycles cleanly between Light and Dark.
• Configurable Themes: Choose exactly which theme is used for light mode and dark mode.
• Stays in Sync: Automatically detects if you change your theme manually via other commands.

Usage

Click the LIGHT / DARK pill in your status bar or the lightbulb icon in your editor title bar to cycle through your themes.

Alternatively, use the command palette (Cmd+Shift+P) and type Theme Toggle to find specific commands:

• Theme Toggle
• Theme Toggle: Switch to Light Mode
• Theme Toggle: Switch to Dark Mode

Shortcut

Use Cmd+Shift+Alt+T (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+Alt+T (Windows/Linux) to quickly cycle your theme.

Configuration

You can configure which specific theme activates for light and dark modes, as well as where the toggle button appears, in your editor's settings.json:

"aperture.lightTheme": "Default Light+",
"aperture.darkTheme": "Default Dark+",
"aperture.showInStatusBar": true,
"aperture.showInEditorTitle": false
