Adding Themes to Edge Code

There are  Extensions that implement Themes:

• https://github.com/MiguelCastillo/Brackets-Themes
• https://github.com/Jacse/themes-for-brackets

In Edge Code, use File > Extension Manager, then Install from URL..., and paste in one of the URLs.

Unfortunately it (Miguel's extension) is not supported in Edge Code. After forcing (manual copy to folder) extension to be activated the only thing is menu called Themes - without any dropdown options.

I'm CC user and would like to stick to Edge Code rather than Brackets.

I guess that there are drawbacks to using a preview versions of any software product. From what I hear, once Brackets has reached its first full release, Edge Code will be released with extras not found in Brackets.

In the meantime we'll have to be patient and/or use Brackets if we want to satisfy our curiosity.

Unfortunately, there were underlying Brackets changes that resulted in this incompatibility with some extensions updated for the latest release of Brackets.  Edge Code will catch up with these Brackets changes in the next release.

In the meantime, as already noted, Jacse's themes extension still works the current version of Edge Code.

However, if you prefer Miguel's extension, you can still install his older 0.5.0 version in the current Edge Code release.  Just install using this archive URL:

Hope this helps,

The Extension Manager will load previous version for you, but since you're loading from a URL, you'll have to use a URL from a previous commit/version. Try this one:

It works in terms of installing but doesn't work. Menu "Theme" Has only Settings and Reset - no themes itself.

I hit Reset and now trying to get back to default one...

Go here: https://github.com/MiguelCastillo/Brackets-Themes/releases

And try them one by one from the top till you find one that works. Just right-click on the "Source code (zip)" button, go to Copy Link Location, and then paste it into Edge Code's extension manager. The version 1.0.3 one worked for me; using Edge Code version: experimental build 0.98.0-359086273 (Preview).

@Randy Edmunds

Just wanted to say thanks for the concise explanation on their installation. I saw those themes linked in another thread but no explanation was offered as to how to install them. I tried downloading the files and sticking them in random folders for almost an hour before I found your post about having to install them from URL.

I never noticed this thread was around, but better late than never.

I did a rewrite in Themes v2.0.0 in order to integrate with the Themes API I added in Brackets.  I have not tested my extension with Edge Code, but it seems like there is a gap I need to close.  I am to take a look tonight and figure out how I can help you guys.

I have tested the my Themes extension with the latest Edge Code Preview, and v1.0.4 worked just fine.

1. From the File Menu:

2. Select "Extension Manager..."

3. Press "Install from URL..."

4. Fill in the text box with https://github.com/MiguelCastillo/Brackets-Themes/archive/v1.0.4.zip

You should be able to select themes from the Themes menu.  If you have issues, please feel free to log bugs here MiguelCastillo/Brackets-Themes · GitHub.
