Polacode

Note: The original project by Pine & Peng was abandoned, so I picked up it when it broke back in 2019.

Modifications include:

• Fixed when VS Code switched away from syntax-highlight-copy by default
• Improved performace from inlining multiple files
• Anton Palgunov added buttons for toggling transparency and shadow
• PR's are welcome!

Polaroid for your code 📸.

By Pine & Peng from VS Code team. Happy Coding!

Why?

You have spent countless hours finding the perfect JavaScript grammar, matching it with a sleek-looking VS Code theme, trying out all the best programming fonts.

You take three days porting over your theme before starting to use VS Code. You shell out $200 for italic cursive html attributes.

The code has to look right.

Seriously, why not just take a screenshot?

• I like and care about the shadow, padding & rounded corner of macOS's screenshot. I want an easy way to have those nice visuals for any selection of my snippet.
• I want to hide errors, warnings, color decorators, folding markers, line numbers, scrollbar and minimap.
• It generates something decent on Windows & Linux.

Demo

Nord + Input Mono

Monokai Pro + Operator Mono

Material Theme Palenight + Fira Code

Tip

• When running out of horizontal space, try the command View: Toggle Editor Group Vertical/Horizontal Layout.
