Neptune Abyss — Premium Dark Theme for VS Code
🌊 Neptune Abyss is a modern, blue-centric dark color theme for Visual Studio Code. It favors readable contrast, calm blues for syntax accents, and unobtrusive UI colors so you can focus on code.

Highlights
- Carefully balanced blue-focused palette for long sessions
- Clean UI and high readability on large and small displays
- Comprehensive TextMate and semantic token coverage

Guidelines:
- Keep changes small and thematically consistent — large palette overhauls make reviews hard.
- Prefer editing or adding single TextMate or semantic token entries rather than sweeping global replacements.
- If you alter UI colors (workbench colors), include before/after screenshots and justify accessibility.
Issues & Support
- Open issues for bugs, accessibility concerns, or language-specific token problems.
- Mark the issue with a short reproduction: language, sample code, expected vs. actual colors.
Troubleshooting
- If your theme changes don't appear, reload the window or restart the Extension Development Host.
- Ensure the language supports semantic tokens to see semantic coloring.
