What problem does it solve?

Ensure WPF UI in Visual Studio extensions respects the active IDE color theme across Light, Dark, Blue, and High Contrast.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Auto-theming of standard WPF controls via the VSIX Community Toolkit using Themes.UseVsTheme.
  • Explicit theming with EnvironmentColors and VsBrushes to style non-standard elements and runtime updates via VSColorTheme.
  • Use cases include theming tool windows, dialogs, and custom controls, with dynamic theme switching to reflect user changes.

Quick Start

Apply UseVsTheme to your UserControl or dialog and bind theme colors using EnvironmentColors or VsBrushes, then listen for VSColorTheme.ThemeChanged to refresh visuals.
