Hello there, due to significant issues with the Lemon Squeezy platform, we’ve decided to anticipate the next April release to introduce Polar.sh as a new merchant of record. This core change also makes us more accessible globally by allowing us to set prices in various currencies.
Starting today, anyone purchasing a licence of the Vira Theme for VS Code (other platforms will migrate soon) will be using Polar instead of Lemon Squeezy. This change applies to new purchases only and, for now, only for VS Code.
Users who bought a licence on Lemon Squeezy will continue to use it and manage activations via the orders page.
BREAKING
Due to security issues VSCode >109.0 (January 2026) is now required.

Add new command to open Vira Theme settings in the UI.
