Derived colours
Development reference · View source
Some surfaces are computed from the theme rather than named in it, so every theme, custom or built-in, gets them:
- Inactive panes use a ground halfway between
backgroundand the popup ground. - Popups (pickers, choice lists, the command palette, action menus, key
hints, and language-server popups) use a ground one small step off
background: lighter on dark themes, darker on light ones. The step is small enough that both still read as the same colour. - A theme whose
backgroundisresetleaves the ground to the terminal. That cannot be stepped off, so its popups keep the same background.
