Follow the layered workbench/tools/actions palette from the 1.109-1.113 theme refresh and fill the gaps that accumulated since 2020: - enable semanticHighlighting with semanticTokenColors - add editorBracketHighlight, sticky scroll, command center, inlay hints - add terminal ANSI palette, git decorations, diff/merge, minimap, scrollbar - add chat / inlineChat colors for Copilot Chat UI - add notifications, buttons, badges, inputs, dropdowns, symbol icons - drop wildcard *url*/*link*/*uri* scopes for explicit link scopes - remove trailing commas so strict JSON parsers accept the file - bump engines.vscode to ^1.113.0 (April 2026) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- editor/terminal/panel/minimap backgrounds move from #1b1b1b to #121314 to match the official VS Code Dark 2026 theme - menu, command palette, suggest widget, hover widget, notifications, inline chat, debug toolbar, command center get translucent #202122CC (80%) backgrounds and slightly lighter borders, so compositor blur renders them as frosted glass - list selections move off the old editor color onto accent-tinted translucency now that editor is darker - widget.shadow deepened to #000000B3 to add lift under the glass - input/chat keep opaque chrome-layer #191A1B so typed text stays legible Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Use the new "css" theme contribution (introduced alongside the 2026 refresh in microsoft/vscode PR #293281) to ship a stylesheet that applies real backdrop-filter: blur to command palette, context menus, suggest/hover/parameter-hints/find widgets, notifications, inline chat and modal dialogs. No compositor required. Pattern mirrors extensions/theme-2026/themes/styles.css: CSS custom properties gated on .vs-dark for contrast-safe luminosity blending, color-mix over vscode-editor-background for the translucent fill. enabledApiProposals: ["css"] makes this a proposed-API extension, so it runs on Insiders or on stable via code --enable-proposed-api Hugues.quartz and cannot currently be published to the marketplace.

Summary
The theme hadn't been updated since late 2020 (engine
^1.51.0) and was missing most of the color keys VS Code has added since — terminal, git, diff/merge, inlay hints, sticky scroll, command center, chat, bracket pair colorization, and more. This PR brings Quartz in line with the VS Code 2026 theme refresh (shipped in 1.109 and polished through 1.113) while preserving the existing pastel palette and high-contrast feel from the recent contrast commits.The 2026 refresh emphasizes three ideas, which this PR applies:
#1b1b1b), chrome/tools (#000000), and actions (menus, notifications, quick pick) styled as distinct layers.#00b7ffstays the single primary accent; other colors only appear where they carry meaning (errors, diffs, git status).widget.shadowon overlays.Changes
