Originally assigned to: @bwya77 on GitHub.

I did run the one liner script but the UI of my VS code wouldn't update. i tried the manual installation but it seems like it is not working as expected. It just reverts the color theme to default Dark modern. I reloaded vs code manually too but that would't help. Any fixes for this?

Same for me. The theme doesn't appear in the theme JSON. I'm trying the one-liner on macOS.

Hi, to make it work in mac. After the script execution is complete you need to do the following things to make it work:

  1. Install the two mentioned extensions in manual steps manually
  2. Copy the settings.json from this repo and replace with yours or compare and add missing
  3. Reload/Restart VS Code, it will work.

how to uninstall this?

Uninstalling

To restore your VS Code to its previous state:

1. Restore your old settings

The installer backs up your previous settings to settings.json.pre-islands-dark. Restore it by copying it back:

macOS:

cp ~/Library/Application\ Support/Code/User/settings.json.pre-islands-dark ~/Library/Application\ Support/Code/User/settings.json

Linux:

cp ~/.config/Code/User/settings.json.pre-islands-dark ~/.config/Code/User/settings.json

Windows (PowerShell):

Copy-Item "$env:APPDATA\Code\User\settings.json.pre-islands-dark" "$env:APPDATA\Code\User\settings.json" -Force

2. Disable Custom UI Style

  1. Open Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P)
  2. Run Custom UI Style: Disable
  3. VS Code will reload

3. Remove the theme extension

Delete the extension folder:

macOS/Linux:

rm -rf ~/.vscode/extensions/bwya77.islands-dark-1.0.0

Windows (PowerShell):

Remove-Item -Recurse -Force "$env:USERPROFILE\.vscode\extensions\bwya77.islands-dark-1.0.0"

@bwya77 Thanks the for Uninstall guide. I suggest it should be added into the readme of the repo to make it more accessible(Guessing you wouldn't want a pull request adding from someone else). Will check the project out again when it's more stable and usable.

@zahintapadar Itsi n the readme and I also made another 1-liner script that will uninstall the theme and revert your settings back to the backup to make it even easier.

sorry about the bugs, I shared the repo as i was working on it not thinking many people will see it. I think its posted somewhere because I am getting a lot of traction on it. I commented it on Reddit but I have a feeling its elsewhere. Was not prepared. Trying to get all these bugs figured out
