Seems the VSCode insiders update introduced a bug on this line –> https://github.com/robb0wen/synthwave-vscode/blob/master/src/extension.js#L27

After much more digging, found this – https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docs/blob/vnext/release-notes/v1_93.md#impact-of-ecmascript-module-esm-loading-of-vs-code

[vinayakkulkarni]

Found a possible solution / hack:

update your local extension.js with this:

      const isWin = /^win/.test(process.platform);
      const appDir = `${path.dirname(vscode.env.appRoot)}/app/out`;
      const base = appDir + (isWin ? "\\vs\\code" : "/vs/code");
      const electronBase = isVSCodeBelowVersion("1.70.0")
        ? "electron-browser"
        : "electron-sandbox";
      const htmlFile =
        base +
        (isWin
          ? "\\" + electronBase + "\\workbench\\workbench.esm.html"
          : "/" + electronBase + "/workbench/workbench.esm.html");
      const templateFile =
        base +
        (isWin
          ? "\\" + electronBase + "\\workbench\\neondreams.js"
          : "/" + electronBase + "/workbench/neondreams.js");

Basically you have to patch these lines – https://github.com/robb0wen/synthwave-vscode/blob/master/src/extension.js#L26-L41

Might send a PR for the fix.

Hey THANKS! Back working in NEON!!!!!!!!!

Also i would like to ask you all, you all use it like me?

i open vscode as admin... apply the synthwave command with ctrl shift p and selecting it

then restart.... then restart again without admin

then finally hitting to dont say alert anymore....

EVERYTIME THAT I HIT UPDATE ON INSIDERS LOL

[GeorgiNiagulov]

Yes this fix it's working thanks :) I believe https://github.com/robb0wen will see and accept pull request!

I'm experiencing the same problem on MacOS, and the suggested solution isn't effective for this operating system. After making some adjustments, I got that VS Code needs to run with administrative privileges. And even doing so nothing happens.

[ikariiwarrior]

This is now an issue on public release of VSCode. Nice work, @vinayakkulkarni for patching in a fix. Hopefully it will be rolled into master and deployed soon. :)

[badrat8]

@vinayakkulkarni thanks a lot, couldnt work without this theme :)

[AgGro00]

Same problem

[NathyVZM]

@vinayakkulkarni thank you so much for the patch 😭❤️ i can be happy again with the neon dreams. Hopefully they'll push this to master 🥹

It worked for me to replace the current configuration with this

[vinayakkulkarni]

Lol, my VSCode updated to v1.95 & it stopped working again, seems VSCode reverted workbench.esm.html to workbench.html. Updated the PR 4a2935d (#318)

You're a Neon saint - thank you! Can confirm this works perfectly on Windows. I live for that glow, man.

[UR-Hiro]

Can you teach me how to update it. I don't know how to do it. And I cannot live without the glow.
Thanks, in advance.

[koudy2]

I am on fedora linux will this fix work on my system?

Yes it works. Running fedora as well

Can you teach me how to update it. I don't know how to do it. And I cannot live without the glow. Thanks, in advance.

What you see here (the piece of code pasted above in this issue) is the fix.

1. Navigate to $USER/.vscode/extensions/robbowen.synthwave-.../src (note that ... before /src is placeholder for string with version) and there will be extension.js
2. Make backup copy of this file so you have something to fall back to in case you need to start over
3. Locate lines 26-41
4. Paste the code from here to replace them and save the file

[larrydevofficial]

Working on Mac with latest VSCode 1.94.2. After enabling neon dreams, you might have to go to

Preferences: Color Theme

scroll down and hover over SynthWave '84 then you should be able to see the lights when you select your actual preferred Color Theme

Estoy en Fedora Linux. ¿Esta solución funcionará en mi sistema?

Sí, funciona. También se ejecuta Fedora.

¿Puedes enseñarme cómo actualizarlo? No sé cómo hacerlo y no puedo vivir sin el brillo. Gracias de antemano.

Lo que ves aquí (el fragmento de código pegado arriba en este problema) es la solución.

1. Vaya a $USER/.vscode/extensions/robbowen.synthwave-.../src(tenga en cuenta que ... antes de /src hay un marcador de posición para la cadena con la versión) y habrá extension.js
2. Haz una copia de seguridad de este archivo para tener algo a lo que recurrir en caso de que necesites empezar de nuevo.
3. Localiza las líneas 26-41
4. Pegue el código desde aquí para reemplazarlos y guardar el archivo.

For Ubuntu, where is?
