🌲 EcoForest Theme

A nature-inspired Visual Studio Code theme for eco-conscious developers. Breathe in the forest. Code with calm. 🍃

About

EcoForest is a minimal, calming theme inspired by the beauty of forests — deep greens, earthy browns, and natural tones that are easy on the eyes during long coding sessions. Designed with intention, for developers who care about nature and clean aesthetics.

Variants

EcoForest Dark

A deep forest night experience. Dark backgrounds with soft green and amber accents — like coding under a canopy of trees at dusk.

EcoForest Light

A fresh morning forest feel. Light, airy backgrounds with rich green and earthy brown tones — like coding in a sunlit woodland clearing.
