# Welcome to your VS Code Extension
## What's in the folder
* This folder contains all of the files necessary for your color theme extension.
* `package.json` - this is the manifest file that defines the location of the theme file and specifies the base theme of the theme.
* `themes/ShinyCode-color-theme.json` - the color theme definition file.
## Get up and running straight away
* Press `F5` to open a new window with your extension loaded.
* Open the color theme picker with the `File > Preferences > Theme > Color Theme` menu item, or use the `Preferences: Color Theme command (Ctrl+K Ctrl+T)` and pick your theme
* Open a file that has a language associated. The languages' configured grammar will tokenize the text and assign 'scopes' to the tokens. To examine these scopes, invoke the `Developer: Inspect Editor Tokens and Scopes` command from the Command Palette (`Ctrl+Shift+P` or `Cmd+Shift+P` on Mac).
## Make changes
* Changes to the theme file are automatically applied to the Extension Development Host window.
## Adopt your theme to Visual Studio Code
* The token colorization is done based on standard TextMate themes. Colors are matched against one or more scopes.
To learn more about scopes and how they're used, check out the [color theme](https://code.visualstudio.com/api/extension-guides/color-theme) documentation.
## Install your extension
* To start using your extension with Visual Studio Code copy it into the `<user home>/.vscode/extensions` folder and restart Code.
* To share your extension with the world, read on https://code.visualstudio.com/docs about publishing an extension.
