🎨 The Theme
🌌 The Quantum theme family now spans three distinct vibes: Quantum, Quantum Dark, and Quantum Mirage. All embrace the elegance of dark mode, but each adds its own twist—
- ⚡ Quantum keeps things sleek and balanced
- 🕶️ Quantum Dark dives deeper with bold contrast
- ☁️ Quantum Mirage floats in with a dreamy, translucent palette
Whether you're coding in clarity, shadow, or shimmer—there’s a Quantum for your mood:
🎨 Looking for the purest expression of each theme? Start with the defaults: Quantum, Quantum Dark, and Quantum Mirage. These are the original editions—clean, immersive, and true to their core palettes.
🧱 Prefer a bit more structure? Try the bordered editions: Quantum Bordered, Quantum Dark Bordered and Quantum Mirage Bordered. These add semi-transparent borders to panels and editors for a subtle, organized feel.
🚫 Not a fan of italic fonts? No problem. The non-italicized variants—Quantum Non-Italicized, Quantum Dark Non-Italicized and Quantum Mirage Non-Italicized—keep everything upright and crisp, perfect for a cleaner coding experience.
🧠 Generally, Quantum theme provides:
🌟 Theme |
📝 Description |
Quantum |
⚡ The original and most remixable. Quantum delivers a crisp, vibrant coding experience with balanced contrast and a palette that feels both modern and timeless. Ideal for those who want clarity without clutter. |
Quantum Dark |
🌑 A deeper dive into the Quantum aesthetic. With richer shadows and muted tones, Quantum Dark is perfect for late-night sessions or anyone who prefers a more atmospheric workspace without sacrificing readability. |
Quantum Mirage |
🌫️ A dreamy, translucent take on the Quantum palette. Mirage softens the edges and introduces a misty, ethereal feel—ideal for those who want their editor to feel like a calm creative space. |
Quantum Bordered |
🧱 Adds semi-transparent borders to panels and editors for a subtle sense of structure. Quantum Bordered keeps the original vibe but introduces a touch of visual hierarchy for those who like their UI a bit more defined. |
Quantum Dark Bordered |
🕶️ Combines the moody depth of Quantum Dark with clean, understated borders. It’s sleek, organized, and ideal for coders who want both ambiance and alignment in their workspace. |
Quantum Mirage Bordered |
🪞 Mirage with structure. This version adds gentle borders to the soft Mirage aesthetic, giving just enough definition to panels while preserving the theme’s ambient glow. |
Quantum Non-Italicized |
🚫 No slants allowed. This upright version of Quantum removes all italic styling for a more neutral, typographically strict look. Great for those who prefer a minimalist, distraction-free font experience. |
Quantum Dark Non-Italicized |
🌘 The bold, italic-free sibling of Quantum Dark. It’s moody, clean, and perfect for developers who want a serious tone with zero font flair. |
Quantum Mirage Non-Italicized |
🌁 A slant-free version of Mirage for those who love the soft tones but prefer their fonts upright and formal. It’s gentle on the eyes and strict on the type. |
