SynthWave '84 refined to perfection

Important note

This theme does not support the glow effects of the original SynthWave '84.

You can preview the theme in your browser: https://vscode.dev/theme/avarayr.synthwave-refined

Motivation

I love the original SynthWave theme, but I wanted to make the color less harsh on the eyes. That's why some bright red colors were swapped with white.

Credits

All credit for the color scheme goes to robb0wen for his awesome SynthWave '84 theme.

Icon is a modified version of the original SynthWave '84 icon

Contributing

All contributions are warmly welcome. Let's make this theme better together! 🤗

Recommended font settings

{
  "editor.letterSpacing": -1.7, // because original Cascadia Code is too wide
  "editor.fontLigatures": "'calt', 'ss01'", // turns on ligatures and cursive
  "editor.fontFamily": "'Cascadia Code PL Semilight'", // only works with statically generated .ttf files (don't use variable fonts)
  "workbench.fontAliasing": "antialiased" // VERY IMPORTANT ON MAC OS
