Themes

With version 3.6, Viasfora supports themes, which allow you to easily change the colors used by all features in Viasfora. Themes can be exported/imported from Tools -> Options -> Viasfora -> Import/Export.

A theme is just a text file in JSON format, containing a set of entries like this:

{
    "<option_name>": {
        "foreground": "<html_color>|automatic",
        "background": "<html_color>|automatic",
        "style": "None|Bold"
    },
...
}

Valid values for the foreground or background properties can are:

• An HTML color name
• An HTML color expressed in #RRGGBB format
• automatic, which matches the Automatic color option in Visual Studio.

The following options are valid:

• viasfora.keyword.flowcontrol
• viasfora.keyword.linq
• viasfora.keyword.visibility
• viasfora.string.escape_sequence
• viasfora.string.format.specifier
• viasfora.column.current
• viasfora.text.obfuscated
• viasfora.xml.closing
• viasfora.xml.prefix
• viasfora.xml.closing.prefix
• viasfora.razor.closing.element
• viasfora.rainbow.# (where # is 1 - 9)
• viasfora.rainbow.error
