LightweightWhiteboard:Installation

Requirements

VS Code	1.90 or newer (engines.vscode is ^1.90.0)
Other extensions	None
Operating system	Any system that runs VS Code. The board runs in a VS Code webview and needs no external programs.

Installing

From the Marketplace

1. Open the Lightweight Whiteboard page on the VS Code Marketplace and click Install.
2. Or open the Extensions view in VS Code (Ctrl+Shift+X), search for Lightweight Whiteboard and click Install.
3. Or open Quick Open (Ctrl+P) and run:

ext install MutigerAffe.vsc-whiteboard

The extension ID is MutigerAffe.vsc-whiteboard. The display name is Lightweight Whiteboard.

From a .vsix file

If you have a .vsix file, install it with Extensions → ... → Install from VSIX... or on the command line:

code --install-extension vsc-whiteboard_1.1.0.vsix

Activation

The extension has no startup activation. VS Code loads it the first time you run Whiteboard: New Whiteboard or open a file in one of its editors.

After installing

• Files ending in .whiteboard open in the board automatically.
• PNG files still open in the normal VS Code image preview. To draw on one, use View: Reopen Editor With... and choose Whiteboard (edit PNG). See Files and Saving.

Workspace Trust

The extension does not declare support for untrusted workspaces in its package.json. In a workspace opened in Restricted Mode, VS Code may keep it disabled until you trust the workspace.

Uninstalling

Uninstall it in the Extensions view. Your .whiteboard files stay where they are. They are PNG images and can still be opened with any image viewer after renaming them to .png. The setting vscWhiteboard.customColors stays in your user settings until you remove it.
