# Pierre Theme
Light and dark themes for Visual Studio Code, Cursor, and Shiki. Built for [Diffs.com](https://diffs.com) by [The Pierre Computer Company](https://pierre.computer).
## Preview
## Install
### Visual Studio Code
From the menu in Visual Studio Code:
- View > Extensions (or hit Command+Shift+X or Control+Shift+X)
- Search for `Pierre Theme`
- Click install
You can also install or download from the [Visual Studio Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=pierrecomputer.pierre-theme).
### Cursor
From the menu in Cursor:
- View > Extensions (or hit Command+Shift+X or Control+Shift+X)
- Search for `Pierre Theme`
- Click install
You can also install or download from the [Open VSX registry](https://open-vsx.org/extension/pierrecomputer/pierre-theme).
## Vibrant themes (Display P3)
> [!NOTE]
> Vibrant themes do not work in VS Code or Cursor at this time as it does not support color formats other than Hex or RGB. You can, however, use these with [Diffs](https://diffs.com) or any [Shiki](https://shiki.style) project to render code.
The **Vibrant** theme variants use CSS's `color(display-p3 r g b)` format with enhanced saturation to fully utilize Display P3's wider color gamut. Display P3 can represent ~25% more colors than standard sRGB, and these themes are optimized to take full advantage of that on compatible displays.
The conversion algorithm transforms sRGB colors to Display P3 through proper linear color space transformations, then enhances saturation (15-30%) and luminance (5% for vibrant colors) to push colors into the wider P3 gamut that isn't accessible in sRGB.
## Override
To override this (or any other) theme in your personal config file, please follow the guide in the [color theme](https://code.visualstudio.com/api/extension-guides/color-theme) documentation. This is handy for small tweaks to the theme without having to fork and maintain your own theme.
## Contribute
1. Clone and open this [repo](https://github.com/pierrecomputer/theme) in your editor
2. Run `npm install` to install the dependencies.
3. Press `F5` to open a new window with your extension loaded
4. Open `Code > Preferences > Color Theme` [`⌘k ⌘t`] and pick the "Pierre…" theme you want to test.
5. Make changes to the [`/src/theme.ts`](https://github.com/pierrecomputer/theme/blob/main/src/theme.ts) file.
6. Run `npm run build` to update the theme. You can also run `npm run start` instead to automatically rebuild the theme while making changes and no reloading should be necessary.
7. Run `npm test` to validate your changes (this runs automatically on PRs).
8. Once you're happy, commit your changes and open a PR.
