There are two ways to get Codely Theme running in your editor. The Marketplace method is recommended for most users — it takes under a minute and keeps the extension up to date automatically. If you prefer to work from source or install in an offline environment, the manual method gives you full control by placing the extension folder directly into your VS Code extensions directory.

Install from the Marketplace

1

Open the Extensions panel

Press Ctrl+Shift+X on Windows/Linux or Cmd+Shift+X on macOS to open the Extensions panel in the Activity Bar.
2

Search for Codely Theme

Type Codely Theme in the search box. Look for the result published by Codely to make sure you have the correct extension.
3

Click Install

Click the Install button on the Codely Theme listing. VS Code will begin downloading the extension immediately.
4

Extension activates automatically

Once the download completes, VS Code activates the extension. The “Codely Dark” theme variant is now available for selection in your color theme picker.
After installation, activate the theme by opening the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P), running Preferences: Color Theme, and selecting Codely Dark from the list.

Manual Installation

Use this method to install from a cloned repository or an extracted .vsix package.
1

Locate your VS Code extensions folder

Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P) and run Extensions: Open Extensions Folder. VS Code will open the folder in your system file manager. The default locations are:
  • Linux / macOS: ~/.vscode/extensions
  • Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensions
2

Copy the extension into the folder

Copy the cloned repository folder (e.g. vscode-theme) — or the directory extracted from a .vsix archive — into the extensions folder you opened in the previous step. The folder must contain the extension’s package.json at its root.
3

Restart VS Code

Fully close and reopen Visual Studio Code. VS Code scans the extensions folder on startup and will register Codely Theme automatically.

System Requirements

  • Visual Studio Code ^1.51.0 — November 2020 release or any later version.
  • No additional dependencies — Codely Theme is a pure color theme extension with no runtime requirements beyond VS Code itself.
