Description
Since 1.43, VSCode themes can take advantage of semantic highlighting.
Every theme controls whether semantic tokens are enabled. So far, only built-in themes have it enabled and I filed this issue to ask you to opt-in for the One Monokai theme as well.
Adoption is easy and there are new cool styling possibilities.
To turn on semantic highlighting for a theme, all you have to do is put
"semanticHighlighting": true
in the theme's definition file.
There's a good chance that no further change to the theme is needed (thanks to a default mapping from semantic tokens to TextMate scopes (if not, I'd be interested to know, so I can improve the defaults further)).
But, more interestingly, themes can tune and go wild by defining new styling rules against the semantic tokens:
"semanticTokenColors": {
"variable.readonly": "#ff0000",
"parameter": { "fontStyle": "underline" },
"*.declaration:java": { "fontStyle": "bold" }
}
Check out our Semantic Highlighting Wiki and the Semantic Highlighting Guide for more details and feel free to ping me in this issue if I can help.
Thanks for the great work and looking forward to semantic highlighting in your theme.
