Describe the bug

Gitpod.yml theming section does not support the themes from the extensions and it breaks them.

Steps to reproduce

  1. install theme Dracula official [email protected]:YGBEpb4XH7h9BBDzol1CBw==
  2. check the color theme settings - you will see the Dracula theme is available
  3. write to the .gitpod.yml file:
    > yaml > theming: > - editor-theme: Dracula >
  4. check color theme settings - you will not see the Dracula theme is available

Expected behavior

  1. vscode color theme sets to Dracula
  2. at least Dracula theme still available to use

We should add that info to the documentation.

AFAIK there is no theming property

Current theme should be configured in user preferences.

Theming is considered a user-specific setting. So you should install the extension in the user's extension space:

and then you need to activate using the Preferences: Color Theme command.

We should add that info to the documentation.
