Browse Additional Color Themes returns nothing

Browse Additional Color Themes returns no results. It shows a loading spinner and then resolves with an empty list. Is this to be expected? In VS Code it returns loads of publicly available themes.

@tonerow I can replicate.

Steps to replicate:

  • Open dev tools via Cursor > Help > Toggle Developer Tools
  • Click on the Console tab
  • In Cursor, press Ctrl + Shift + P to open Command Palette
  • Type Browse
  • Select the option Preferences: Browse Color Themes in Marketplace
  • View console log errors in dev tools (seems to be CORS related)

I still get a kick out of being able to use dev tools in Cursor/VS Code!

@tonerow you might want to recategorise this topic as a bug report because it does seem to be a bug.

Definitely a bug, currently seeing it on a fresh install:

Version: 0.40.2
VSCode Version: 1.91.1
Commit: cda482b45f8d679344885ceb091f550a29fb00d0

As a temporary workaround you can still use the normal extension search (“Extensions: Install Extensions” command) to install themes.

I could happily use marketplace sidebar to search for a theme I was looking for (as a workaround option)

Is this gonna be fixed anytime soon?
I am aware of the workaround but it would be nice if we could preview the theme before installing it!

Not fixed but on the theme vscode page click download extension then click and drag downloaded extension onto the extension sidebar while extension menu is open
As per How to Install Any VSCode Extension

Hmm –

You inspired this:



Making an automation for this right now…


HAHA this is a fun rabbot hole:


Hey, thanks for reporting this!

I’ve thrown this to the right people internally, and we will hopefully get rid of this UI, as we are unable to support it. You can still browse, download, and use themes from the marketplace through the extension UI you would already use for any non-theme extensions.
