aeschli · 2022-03-09T13:58:05Z

Adds ColorScheme.HIGH_CONTRAST_LIGHT (value hcLight), renamed ColorScheme.HIGH_CONTRAST (old value hc), to ColorScheme.HIGH_CONTRAST_DARK (new value hcDark)
Adds ColorScheme.isHighContrast to test if the current theme is a high contrast theme
color registrations default colors now take hcDark and hcLight.
- hcLight is currently optional and uses either hcDark if it is null or color id else light if it is a color value
- @daviddossett Fill out the defaults for hcLight in all the registrations (let me know if I can help)
@daviddossett Add css rules for hc-light
- the css class that is active for theme of type hcLight is hc-light (For hcDark it is hc-black, as before
@daviddossett provide letterpress-hcLight.svg (currently just a copy of letterpress-hcDark.svg)
@aeschli new setting preferredHighContrastLightColorTheme
@aeschli color contribution point: new optional property defaults.highContrastLight
- defaults to value of light
- highContrast is not renamed to not break any existing users

@aeschli breaking web.api changes: ColorScheme.HIGH_CONTRAST_LIGHT (value hcLight), renamed ColorScheme.HIGH_CONTRAST (old value hc), to ColorScheme.HIGH_CONTRAST_DARK (new value hcDark)
(@bpasero speak up if we must not break the web API)
@aeschli added standalone hc light theme: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/aeschli/hcLightThemeKind/src/vs/editor/standalone/common/themes.ts#L214
@daviddossett Review and customize the standalone hc light theme (currently a copy of the light theme)
@daviddossett Add new asset for Get Started walkthrough theme selection

@aeschli as for breaking web API, I suggest to give John Keech a ping either in an issue or via chat, in the end Codespaces is the only external consumer of our API so far. Not sure they would actually leverage any theming related embedder API we have, other than setting the default theme.

bpasero · 2022-03-09T16:33:27Z

In places like these:

export const ACTIVITY_BAR_BORDER = registerColor('activityBar.border', {
	dark: null,
	light: null,
	hcDark: contrastBorder
}, localize('activityBarBorder', "Activity bar border color separating to the side bar. The activity bar is showing on the far left or right and allows to switch between views of the side bar."));

Shouldn't we also set a default for hcLight or is the idea that the theme itself defines this? Here for example, we do not set an explicit border around the activity bar unless a HC theme is picked and I wonder if this applies equally to light and dark HC themes.

Yes, this is the task Fill out the defaults for hcLight in all the registrations (let me know if I can help)

Awesome, thanks so much for getting this going! Working on my items today/early next week.

Seeing this warning after adding values for highContrastLight. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

color contribution gitDecoration.addedResourceForeground does not provide color 'defaults.highContrastLight'. Using color for `light` instead (#587c0c).

Pushed a fix

daviddossett · 2022-03-14T18:05:36Z

Finished my tasks. Let me know if anything looks off 🙏

I'll update the letterpress assets in distro as well once this is in.

Looks like there are still hard coded colors in findInput.css that we should externalize.
hcLight uses the same color as hcDark, is that intended?

Fixed so that hc-light uses the light colors/animations. Thansk for catching that.

As for the hard coded bits, are you referencing the disabled background rules and the animation backgrounds? I'd need to go decide on specific colors for each theme if all of them have been using the same values all this time. Might make sense to do this on a separate issue since it goes beyond HC.

Thanks a lot @daviddossett !
There are still some color registrations without hcLight. To see these, just remove the type ColorDefaultsDeprecated in https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/aeschli/hcLightThemeKind/src/vs/platform/theme/common/colorRegistry.ts#L63

daviddossett · 2022-03-15T17:59:56Z

Added mising registrations. Thanks for the tip on removing the type 👍

I made a search to hc-black to see if there's always a hc-light rule and found following 'suspicious' places:

Thanks—will take a look and fix as needed

daviddossett · 2022-03-17T18:32:24Z

FYI I updated the letterpress assets in distro to match the new naming scheme e.g. letterpress-hcLight.svg. I noticed that Insiders was falling back to the OSS letterpress on all but dark theme types.
