Install the extension.

• Download the latest vsix asset from the releases page.
• Install it:
  • View > Command Palette > Extensions: Install from VSIX...
  • Or with code --install-extension concise-syntax-0.0.1.vsix.

Uninstall the extension.

• View > Command Palette > Dispose Extension (free memory).

Usage

• Open a workspace folder.
• Open a concise-syntax target file with the extension .tsx
• An info message will appear The extension is not calibrated. Shall we calibrate it? click Yes.

Runtime:

• Then you'll have access to a command palette command Concise Syntax: Calibrate
  • Use this command to manually calibrate the extension to your theme/settings.json.
• When ever you change your workspace theme and the extension is active, you'll be prompted to calibrate the extension or deactivate it.

Configuration:

• File > Preferences > Settings > Extensions > Concise Syntax
• There, you can tune the opacities and their hierarchy.

• Why does this happen? The build script vite.config.custom.ts needs to build the extension and the window side. That script doesn't have a problem matcher defined in .vscode/tasks.json so vscode doesn't know how to track it. The warning is harmless and can be ignored.

Your Code installation appears to be corrupt. Please reinstall.

• The extension spawns a window script and vscode doesn't like that. That script syncs the window state with the extension.

Uninstall the extension.

• View > Command Palette > Dispose Extension (free memory).
• Why? The vscode extension api doesn't seem to call it's uninstall hook consistently. So, the extension needs to be disposed manually. :'(

This extension is a workaround for a feature that is not yet available in VSCode.

• Which is the ability to toggle tokenColors and or apply partial theme rules. It is highly over engineered for what it does: toggle css styles on and off. That being said, it is a proof of concept about how to communicate between the extension and the window.
