Pulling down the data locally

So the general gist is:

• Download all JSON for every theme (yarn download_json)

• Loop though JSON themes (yarn all)

• For each theme: (yarn extension -- [theme_id])

  • Install the extension
  • Set the theme ( user settings JSON: "workbench.colorTheme": "Slime",)
  • killall code
  • Launch VS Code on a known folder
  • Delay for x amount for code to launch properly
  • Take screenshot with name that matches id
  • Uninstall theme

Rinse and repeat. Create a site with images.

Useful terminal pieces

Can use an insider build of VS Code, so that all this doesn't affect your main installation. Swap code with code-insiders.

• See all extensions: code --list-extensions
• Install an extension: code --install-extension [id]
• Uninstall an extension: code --uninstall-extension [id]
• Take a screenshot of a code window:
  • Code: screencapture -l (./window_list.py Cod | head -1| awk '{print $1}') out.png
  • Insiders: screencapture -l (./window_list.py Insiders | head -1| awk '{print $1}') out.png

looks like it just needs pageNumber to change in the JSON.
