Is it possible to change default comment color by theme?

[mtrazr]

I switch light/dark themes based on the time of day. While most light themes have a reasonable comment color as well as a reasonable selected comment color, I haven't found a dark theme where I can read them.

I was wondering if Better comments lets me change the default comment color by theme so I can actually read them.

Thanks for a great extension.

I came here to ask about this.

Some background for a potential feature request: VSCode appears to lack an API for determining whether a given theme is "light", "dark", or "high contrast". However most themes that clearly belong to one of these classifications also have the classification right there in the name, enabling workarounds that use "workbench.colorCustomizations" like this:

"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
    // Default
    "editor.background": "#000000",
    // Exception for light themes
    "[*Light*][AnotherTheme]": {
        "editor.background": "#ffffff"
    }
}

(As described in this StackOverflow answer)

If the better-comments extension provided color settings that inter-operated with "workbench.colorCustomizations", that would give the user the tools to solve this problem.

Maybe if for "color" or "background" color it was permitted to provide, instead of a hexcode, the name of a workbench color to inherit from?

Hi gays, I have a fork Better Comments Next and I just add a option to overwrite tags options for light/dark themes.

better-comments.tagsLight overwrite tags options for light theme.
better-comments.tagsDark overwrite tags options for dark theme.
