Visual Studio Code color theme in Visual Studio 2017 for JavaScript and TypeScript files

Question

As the topic suggests I would like to import/set Visual Studio Code color theme in Visual Studio 2017 for JavaScript and TypeScript files. The files I therefore would like to se

Answer 1

I did end up finding a way!

TL:DR:

Download JavaScript.tmLanguage and JavaScript.tmTheme.

• Go to %USERPROFILE%\.vs\Extensions\javascript\Syntaxes (%USERPROFILE% usually is C:\Users\{username})
• Create the folders if they are not present.
• Paste the two files
• Restart the VS, should have the vscode highlighting for js, jsx etc files!

If you want to port any vscode theme to Visual Studio,

• In vscode generate color theme from current setting.(Ref.) This will be the tmTheme file
• Get tmLanguage of the language from vscode's repo
• Convert both json to plist. (I used plist)
• Add filetypes to tmLanguage file if its not there.
• Add both to %USERPROFILE%\.vs\Extensions\language\Syntaxes folder.
• Done!

I have tested for VS2019, and as I followed VS docs, it seems like it should work till VS2015.
