✨ Try Harder — A Cozy, Whimsical VS Code Theme

A magical coding atmosphere inspired by soft candlelight, fuzzy blankets, warm tea, and late-night witchy vibes.

Try Harder is a lovingly crafted dark theme designed to make your coding sessions feel soft, dreamy, and comforting — like sitting under a pink fluffy blanket with your favorite warm drink while your familiar cat watches you debug spells at midnight.

This theme combines:

  • 💜 muted plum and lavender backgrounds
  • 💛 candle-gold highlights
  • 💗 cozy pink accents inspired by fluffy blankets
  • 🧙‍♀️ magical teal + starlight cream for syntax
  • 🌙 gentle contrast optimized for long late-night sessions

If you want a theme that feels calming, whimsical, and slightly enchanted, you're home.
