Themes

UnityIDE ships six built-in themes and applies the one you pick across the whole window at once — the shell, the editor, and the terminal.

Switching Themes

Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P on macOS, Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows) and type Color Theme.

Arrow through the list and each theme is applied live so you can see it on your own code. Press Enter to keep the highlighted theme, or Esc to revert to the one you started on.

There is no separate shortcut for the picker: Cmd+Shift+T is the standard reopen-closed-tab binding, so the theme picker is palette-only.

Built-in Themes

Theme	Notes
UnityIDE Dark	The default. Near-black violet surfaces with a candle-gold accent.
UnityIDE Light	The same palette inverted, for bright rooms.
Dark+ (Default Dark)	Matches the Visual Studio Code default dark theme.
Light+ (Default Light)	Matches the Visual Studio Code default light theme.
Dracula	The standard Dracula palette.
Monokai	The standard Monokai palette.

The Default Theme

UnityIDE Dark follows one rule: colour means the tool resolved something. Greys are what any editor can tell you about a Unity file; the accents mark what UnityIDE worked out — a resolved type, a verified change, a value Unity silently reset. There is no decorative tint, which is why the interface is so nearly monochrome until something is actually understood.

Your choice is remembered between sessions.

Installing More Themes

Not yet. The six above are the whole set — UnityIDE does not currently load third-party or VS Code theme packages. If you want a specific palette, tell us.
