So let me get this straight. I make a theme. In order to actually use that theme I must sign up with azure DevOps create my own organization then get a personal access token then publish it to an open marketplace with my information on it then and only then can I get it into my IDE.

Does anyone else see that as ridiculous?

Don't quite need to do that.

Follow https://themes.vscode.one/faq/publishing-theme to step 4. Then use VSCE to make a package file as shown on https://code.visualstudio.com/api/working-with-extensions/pu...

You can then distribute the VSIX file that you create any way you please and also do a VSIX file installation of the theme on your local copy of VSC.

Thanks! It's still a lot of hoops to jump through coming from visual studio perspective where all settings can be imported or exported to a file. But this is workable!

Looks like a microsoft standard way to get things done to me
