Cyber '77

Inspiration

The current work is practically branched from Robb Owen's Synthwave '84, bringing a dark twist to the original theme's unique glowing vision.

The color scheme reference for this theme has its roots in this Cyberpunk 77 artwork, being tweaked and tested for accessibility.

Installation

Install the theme from the VS Marketplace.

Synthwave '84 disclamer warns us that VS code doesn't natively support text effects and as a result, the glow is experimental. It's likely to be buggy and, whilst it looks rad, it isn't intended for extended use.

To enable the glow

Open your command palette with Ctrl + Shift + P or Shift + ⌘ + P and choose "Cyber '77: Enable Neon Dreams". It will prompt you to restart, and when this is done, the glow should be activated.

Updates

Every time you update or restart VS Code, you will need to repeat this step to re-enable the glow.

Disabling the glow and uninstallation

If you want to disable the glow, one can open their command palette with Ctrl + Shift + P or Shift + ⌘ + P and choose "Cyber '77: Disable Neon Dreams".

Compatibility

I primarily develop in HTML & CSS, JS and React so other languages/paradigms are not supported for now.

Contributing

I believe contributions should be done to the base theme at Synthwave '84. Before you make any changes, please read the contribution guide.

Thanks

Needless to say, this variation would not have existed if it weren't for the work of Robb Owen's Synthwave '84 whose original theme made me open my IDE with joy daily.
