Differences between JetBrains theme and the VS Code theme.

[gino]

Hello,

I am wondering if this is a known issue but if I compare the JetBrains Nord theme to the Nord theme for VSCode, some colors do not look the same. Is this a known issue or is there a way (without customizing a lot) that I could achieve the same in VS Code?

On the left side we have PhpStorm and on the right side we have VS Code.

The PhpStorm variant has a couple of purple/pink accents which I do not have in the VS Code one, unfortunately.

Hi @gino 👋, thanks for your contribution 👍

I guess this might be related to nordtheme/jetbrains#121. There were severals problems regarding the defined theme keys in the Nord JetBrains port project due to changes between IDE versions. An example problem reported by a user is nordtheme/jetbrains#115 where functions in WebStorm used the color of WebStorm's default theme instead of Nord.
If your PHPStorm setup is also affected by this problem please try to re-install the Nord theme plugin and also follow the instructions posted in nordtheme/jetbrains#115.

@gino Did the instructions helped to solve the problem?

Thank you for your patience! 🙏🏼
It‘s been a while since I had free time to focus more on Nord, and my open source projects in general, and invest time in this issue due to work-life balance.

I recently published the first “Northern Post — The state and roadmap of Nord“ announcement which includes all details about the plans and future of the Nord project, including the goal of catching up with the backlog. This issue is part of the backlog and therefore I want to triage and process it to get one step closer to a “clean state“. Read the announcement about reaching the “clean“ contribution triage state in Nord‘s discussions for more details about the goal.

Due to the scope of this issue of not being “purely technical“, or being related to the project‘s code at all, I‘ll convert it into a discussion for Nord‘s central community hub on GitHub. This way the repository is easier to maintain by separating conversations about the actual code while also making help requests, ideas and other contributions from users more visible and supportable by the community.

@gino Based on the stale state I guess the problem has been resolved or is not relevant anymore so I‘ll close this discussion.
