Text color doesn't change with theme change(dark) VS Studio.

[writemaster91]

1. Changing Theme in Visual Studio (2019) to Dark (Not VS Standard)
2. Text changes in VS to light (white) / adapting to the background color.
   

ISSUE. Text color doesn't change in Sitecore Explorer window.

Expected Result:
Text color should be white or at least light when a dark color scheme is set.

I have the same, there seems no way to fix this properly.

@writemaster91 @drw-89 As a workaround, can you try restarting Visual Studio after switching to Dark Theme and see if that resolves the issue?

@nickwesselman
The problem seems to be when you use another Theme that is not "VS standard Dark" but a theme that is from an extension that has a "darkmode"

Because the workaround work otherwise. But if I have a dark theme(not a VS standard) and start VS I get the error described above then I have to do the following steps every time to fix it:

• Start VS
• Change to Light Theme(VS standard)
• Then to Dark (VS standard)
• Then restart VS studio
• Then change to the other dark theme.

Thanks for the additional info @writemaster91. What's an example of an extension theme you have experienced this with?

I think I found the issue.
'Sitecore.Rocks.VisualStudio/Shell/Pipelines/Initialization/005 - SetTheme.cs' GetVisualStudioTheme() checks if the current VSColorPaint is a certain colour (I guess the standard Dark Theme's grey), and sets isDark to true, next to that it checks if the current theme's ID contains a certain guid (again I guess the standard Dark Theme's ID). Only if one or both is true, the function returns AppTheme.Dark.
So the function basically assumes that if it's not the exact same VSColorPoint or Theme ID, it isn't a Dark Theme.
