Change Log

All notable changes to the Plastic theme will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[9.5.0] - 2024-03-31

  • Theme the linked tag background. Previously this was the built-in orangey-red, it now uses Bunker.

[9.4.2] - 2023-09-26

  • Fix screenshot not found.

[9.4.1] - 2023-09-26

  • Update website URL to plastic.wstone.uk

[9.4.0] - 2023-04-08

  • Added support for diff/patch files.

[9.3.1] - 2023-02-03

  • Update changelogs.

[9.3.0] - 2023-02-03

  • Support bracket pair colorization.
  • Add support for more statusbar items.

[9.2.0] - 2023-01-08

  • Add support for sticky scroll.

[9.1.0] - 2023-01-08

  • Git diffs are now brighter and more transparent which means the syntax should be easier to read through them, especially comments.

On a side-note, my "plus" experiment didn't work. My plan was to take the in-built VSCode Dark+ theme and simply swap the colours with Plastic colours. This would take all syntax maintenance away from Plastic. However, that theme makes some colour combination choices that I'm not comfortable with. I'm still looking into a more semantic-compatible Plastic theme, but not sure on the approach yet.

[9.0.0] - 2023-01-04

Reverting the Persian Pink change from 8.0.0. It seems it didn't play nicely with a few languages. I'm going to leave Plastic main theme as is for now. I have another idea to solve the problem I was having with Svelte components' colour. Not sure if it's going to work but for now let's call it Plastic+ (no, it's not a subscription service! 😆). Plastic+ will be an additional theme, along with the main and deprioritised punctuation themes.

[8.0.0] - 2022-12-27

The first major change to Plastic in over a year and a half, and… 🥁 …we have a new colour! Please welcome Persian Pink to the party 🥳

I've recently started using Svelte and the component tags were the same colour as the html elements, making them quite hard to see. I tried updating them to blue, as per the 7.6.0 release below. However, as Svelte component tags are classified as class names, this meant I inadvertently made class names the same colour as the "class" storage keyword.

After some experimentation, I found that it was best to split class names (including component tag names) and storage key words (class, const, let etc.), which meant a new colour was required, and Persian Pink is now the colour of class names and component tags.

[7.6.1] - 2022-12-27

  • Rollback below change as the class storage and class names were now same colour.

[7.6.0] - 2022-12-24

  • Svelte components blue, same as React components.

[7.5.0] - 2021-09-03

  • Use transparent inlay hint background. I've found having the hints display the same as comments (as this is, in essence, all they are) makes them less distracting.

[7.4.1] - 2021-09-03

  • Update changelog.

[7.4.0] - 2021-09-03

  • Add support for inlay hints.

[7.3.0] - 2021-05-06

  • Add toolbar hover background.

[7.2.0] - 2021-04-29

  • Remove unused activityBar.dropBackground.
  • Add secondary button colour.
  • Declare primary button hover colour.

[7.1.0] - 2021-04-28

  • Add support for ReScript component tags.

[7.0.1] - 2021-04-23

  • Fix changelog.

[7.0.0] - 2021-04-23

[6.0.0] - 2021-04-10

If you were you using the Plastic Legacy v2 theme, this has now been officially deprecated. The theme is still available, under the name DEPRECATED Plastic Legacy v2, but will be removed in the next major release. If you are using this, I urge you to volunteer to be its maintainer. See here for more details: #168

  • Added outline to list.inactiveFocusOutline for an increased contrast on active sidebar item.

[5.5.3] - 2021-04-08

[4.3.0] - 2021-01-06

  • Add sash hover border colour.

[4.2.0] - 2020-10-07

  • Themed gutter and overview ruler git colours.
  • Ruler find colours.

[4.1.0] - 2020-08-26

  • Use non-bright colours for bright terminal colours. As most terminals make bright colors bold, I've found these look better without changing their colour.
  • Use the nearest to yellow for terminal's yellow colour.

[4.0.3] - 2020-05-19

[4.0.2] - 2020-05-19

[3.5.0] - 2020-03-25

  • feat: theme inactive panel titles.

[3.4.0] - 2020-03-09

  • fix: markdown headers not styled (thanks @plul). entity.name.section now styled.

[3.0.0] - 2020-02-09

v3 introduces a new syntax colour: lavender for functions. This helps tone-down the amount of whiskey colour, which is now mainly used for JSX props. The scopes have also been simplified further, separating them into clear types. However, worry not if you preferred v2, this can still be found in the theme-picker under "Plastic Legacy v2".

  • Feat: Use new Lavender colour for functions, leaving Whiskey for JSX props.
  • Simplified config and build script.

  • Feat: active activity bar item background has panel colour.
  • Feat: theme lightbulb.

[2.2.0] - 2018-10-09

  • Feat: Darker inactive activity bar icons. Closes #29.
  • Fix: low contrast text on git warning. Closes #25.

[2.1.0] - 2018-06-10

Updates to the upcoming builder/compiler mean slight tweaks to the theme.

  • JS terminator (semi-colons) are same as all other punctuation (use the deprioritised theme if you need these to be more subtle). This may change back in the future, depending on public opinion.
  • Inactive tab text is darker.
  • List active highlight swapped with list hover: active is now the lighter colour.

[2.0.2] - 2018-06-03

  • Looks like the move worked. Forgot the README though, this update adds it back.

[2.0.1] - 2018-06-03

  • This is a test to see if I can move the Plastic theme into a sub-directory. If it breaks the theme, I'll roll it back.

[2.0.0] - 2018-05-30

  • New v2 config system allows you to make your own variation of Plastic. More info soon.
  • Even less specific scopes means Plastic really is a simple theme.
  • Various workbench tweaks to standardise some colours.

v2 has been in the making for quite some time. Please report any issues on GitHub.

[1.11.2] - 2018-05-29

  • v2's compiler ready.
  • Deprioritised v2 theme.

[1.11.1] - 2018-05-22

v2 beta: use v1 syntax colours (mainly).

[1.11.0] - 2018-05-21

  • I have been testing a new version for some time and am nearly ready to release Plastic v2!
    • Most colours have been tweaked to match their name on Chirag's website. e.g. Whiskey is now a solid whiskey colour instead of an approximation. This gives a more vibrant feel and better contrast.
    • Added an easier method to configure the theme. Now there's three config files: the colour names, syntax, and workbench configurations. A build script runs through these and outputs the resulting theme file in the themes folder. Clone the repo and try it yourself using yarn build.
    • The scope (syntax) have been simplified further, using (even more!) generic rules. I've tried to keep the scopes to two levels of specification, with a maximum of three if necessary.

Note: v2 will soon become the next version of Plastic so please provide feedback. v1 will no longer be maintained and will eventually be removed. This is due to the new way that the theme is built and configured (see above). This theme will also no longer provide a deprioritised-punctuation version. However, after v2 has been finalised, I will start a Plastic Forks program, and will add in a Plastic-Deprioritised-Punctuation theme as its first entry. If you rely on this variation, I suggest sticking with the legacy version for now (I won't remove it until the new one is released).
