Description

Now that more extension authors are contributing walkthroughs for their extensions, I think it makes sense to add a guide to our extension docs for creating the artwork with support for theming as we did for the core walkthroughs.

CleanShot 2022-03-01 at 12 11 28@2x

This could include:

  • A step-by-step example of creating an illustration for a walkthrough step
  • Links + example of how to use the VS Code Color Mapper figma plugin
  • Examples from core

cc @digitarald for any other input based on discussions with those adopting the walkthroughs
