A Principled Blue Theme where every design decision was taken thoughtfully.
Blue background is meant to promote wakefulness.
Natural color palette is easy on the eye. The fixed parts of the UI are composed of stone & wood (gray, brown, green), while dynamic elements are sky & water (white & blue).
Depth-based UI organization helps with glance-ability. UI is made out of stone layers, where the front layers are brightest & get darker as the nesting increases.
The editor is visualized on the scroll bar & minimap as a bright blue section in the sea of darker, navy blue.
Consistent use of bright green outlines to signal focus prevets accidental errors.
Consistent use of leaf green background for pop-ups makes it obvious which windows can be dismissed with Esc, and which can't.
Syntax highlighting focused on what's important:
- comments - bright yellow - the most important part of source code
- constants - green
- variable & function names - white (semantic highlighting coming up...)
- keywords & type names - transparent white - since they're the least likely to be a source of errors
The theme is also compatible with custom backgrounds from vscode-background.
