My color choices might not suit everyone (dark grey comments, etc.), but it's relatively easy to change at this point. The theme file is just a copy of the Monokai theme file, with colors changed to match VS2017 Dark. is quite simple with VSC's developer tools ('Inspect TM Scope' is pretty amazing, really). Also, editing and changing the theme colors, etc. I will say that the changes to the standard C# language definition file are minimal indeed it only took 2 days to find out what would (begin) to work. tmLanguage files much better than myself to get a real extension specific to Unity working. If anything, it could also be a starting point for someone who knows. Also, if there is any interest in the first place. I'd need to know if there are things that need to be done with the files before uploading, and if anyone can point them out. I know there are permissions involved with Linux files, so I don't know if those files would work for other people. I'm new to Linux as of the start of 2020, and I don't know if simply uploading the files will work for people.

I have a *mostly* working theme & extension that I'd be glad to offer as an attachment here, if there is interest.īefore I attach anything, I don't know how to go about it. or whatever, but everything else is as expected.Įnough of the explanations. The 'MyObject' part of that will be in the same color as Unity classes like Rendersettings. Say you made a variable 'MyObject' which is a gameObject, and then you later went to reference that variable's Transform with. I managed to do that (after 2 days of tinkering), and I'd say the theme and language extension is working about 90% correctly, except that when referencing properties of your own created variables, the variable name will appear in the same color as Unity classes like 'Input.' or 'Application.'. The main stumbling block was enumerations and getting them to be recognized as their own token so that they could get their own coloring.

tmLanguage file recognizing the small idiosyncracies that come with Unity. tmLanguage file is not particularly easy without learning that complete language and structure as well, something I have no desire or inclination to do when I could be programming in Unity.Īs mentioned, the color theme is fine because the colors can be tweaked and just about everything matches correctly using just the standard C# extension. Also, creating the definitions within the. syntax highlighting rules), because RegEx is completely baffling to me and I really have no desire to learn it completely for one single task that I'll only ever do once. Only thing is, I'm not an expert in designing. I set out to make one, and it's working about 90% correctly to exactly match what I had in VS2017. So here is where I make one concession to Microsoft, but I swear, that's it! But, with all the themes available for it, I couldn't find one to match VS2017's 'Dark' theme and the slight customizations I made to it. Then I found out about Visual Studio Code, and that it is available on Linux, and that it can integrate with Unity.

However, I found that I got so used to looking at code in VS2017 that I found it difficult to follow my own code in other editors (GEdit, Geany, etc.) if the theme didn't match what I was used to seeing.

Having seen that Unity has come along on Linux, I could only jump at the chance to try it out, and did.

With the end of Windows 7, I'm done jumping through Microsoft's hoops, so I'm now on Linux Mint 19.1 Cinnamon (Ubuntu), and will be so for the foreseeable future (indefinitely). I've created a theme and extension to make Visual Studio Code ('VSC', code editor) to look as much as possible like Visual Studio 2017's ('VS2017', IDE) 'Dark' theme.
