Just saw the new Xcode 27 beta and tried it out, and then saw themes. Didn’t we already have themes?
Xcode 27's theming seems a little more powerful than before, with a bit better UI and a preview view where you can see changes in realtime without having a project open. Still not really detailed enough for truly great themes.
I miss the days of the Alcatraz Xcode plugin manager, which had an online service for themes you could download and integrate in a single click.

but also they're themes like the whole window, including the sidebar changing colors, rather than just where the code is at (main editor) portion
True, that part seems to be fully new. Ironically, the setting screen where you choose a theme doesn't apply that background color like the editor does, so you need to have a project open to actually see how it applies to projects as a whole.
Me too.
