Customization

Catppuccin for VSCode can be customized to your liking. If you like the Catppuccin colours, but feel that they are a bit too bright for working at night, customization got you covered!

     // use Mocha as the base
    "workbench.colorTheme": "Catppuccin Mocha",
    // pink as the accent colour
    "catppuccin.accentColor": "pink",
    // make Mocha specifically very dark
    // (this preserves other flavours!)
    "catppuccin.colorOverrides": {
        "mocha": {
            "base": "#000000",
            "mantle": "#010101",
            "crust": "#020202",
        }
    },
    // use your accent (pink) on the statusBar as well
    "catppuccin.customUIColors": {
        "mocha": {
            "statusBar.foreground": "accent"
        }
    },

Open your settings, and look for Extensions > Catppuccin. Available options are documented here.

Custom accent colour

catppuccin.accentColor

You can choose any colour as your "accent" colour. mauve is our default, but you can add more personality by using your favourite!

Disable italics & bold fonts

You can toggle whether to use

italics for keywords: catppuccin.italicKeywords
italics for comments: catppuccin.italicComments
bold for keywords: catppuccin.boldKeywords

Flat appearance

catppuccin.workbenchMode

By default, Catppuccin for VSCode uses 3 shades of our base colour for the workbench. For example in Mocha:

base: #1e1e2e - the editor background
mantle: #181825 - the sidebar
crust: #11111b - the activity bar, status bar and title bar

If you'd like a more flat look, you can change it to flat! This only uses base and mantle, reducing it to 2 shades:

base: #1e1e2e - the editor background
mantle: #181825 - the sidebar, the activity bar, status bar and title bar

Override palette colours

catppuccin.colorOverrides

Colours can be overwritten in the JSON user settings, like so:

    // ...your other settings...
    "catppuccin.colorOverrides": {
        // make text red red all flavours
        "all": {
            "text": "#ff0000"
        },
        // make Mocha "OLEDppuccin" - use black editor background
        "mocha": {
            "base": "#000000",
            "mantle": "#010101",
            "crust": "#020202",
        }
    }

Use palette colours on workbench elements (UI)

catppuccin.customUIColors

If you want to customize where certain palette colours appear, you can change it like so:

    "catppuccin.customUIColors": {
        // make the breadcrumb "text" on "overlay0" for all flavours
        "all": {
            "breadcrumb.background": "overlay0",
            "breadcrumb.foreground": "text",
        },
        // but for mocha, use "crust" on your currently selected accent.
        "mocha": {
            // "accent" selects your current accent colour.
            "breadcrumb.background": "accent",
            "breadcrumb.foreground": "crust",
            // you can use opacity, by specifing it after a space
            // "rosewater 0.5" would mean 50% opacity, here it's 20%
            "minimap.background": "rosewater 0.2"
        }
    },

You can find all the available keys here.

Development

Clone and open this repository in VSCode.
Launch a new instance from "Run and Debug". This will spawn a new instance, which will have the current build of the Theme available.
Make modifications to the JSONs in ./themes to see the changes immediately.
To preserve changes, they have to be edited in ./src/theme/*.ts, since the theme builds the JSONs from there.
