Time-Based Color Shifting

ColorShift Material Pro includes a unique feature that automatically adjusts your theme based on the time of day:

• Morning Theme (6 AM - 6 PM): Brighter, more energetic colors to match your daytime workflow
• Evening Theme (6 PM - 6 AM): Deeper, more relaxed colors that are easier on the eyes at night

To enable this feature:

1. Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P)
2. Type "ColorShift: Toggle Time-Based Color Shifting" and press Enter

You can customize the time ranges in your settings:

"colorshift.morningStartHour": 6,  // Hour when morning theme begins (24-hour format)
"colorshift.eveningStartHour": 18  // Hour when evening theme begins (24-hour format)
