Themes

Sesh uses VS Code color themes. The theme colors code, diffs and terminals, and, if you like, the chat, the sidebar and the controls. You pick one theme for light mode and one for dark.

Pick a theme

1. Open Settings › Theme.
2. Choose Appearance: System, Light or Dark.
3. Choose a Light theme and a Dark theme. The one in use follows the appearance.

The Preview shows the result as you go.

Import your VS Code theme

1. Find the theme’s .json file. VS Code themes live in the extension’s folder, under themes.
2. In Settings › Theme, click Import VS Code Theme… and pick the file.

It becomes your light or dark theme, whichever it was made for. Files with comments are fine. On iPhone and iPad, pick the file from Files.

On your other devices

Your appearance, themes and these settings follow you over iCloud, including imported themes you’ve chosen.

Good to know

• An imported theme over 256 KB, or one you haven’t chosen for light or dark, stays on the device you imported it on.
• Ghostty and iTerm color schemes can’t be imported yet.
