CrimZen

The MIT License

A mixed color theme for Visual Studio Code. CrimZen uses a light design for the coding area with a darker style for all other regions. This design seeks to achieve a balance between the harshness of light themes and the low-contrast, washed-out bleakness of dark themes. This theme will likely look its best in rooms with high ambient lighting.

Suggested Fonts

This theme was built and tested using the IBM Plex Mono font. Earlier versions were also tested with Hack and Deja Vu Sans Mono fonts, which should still look just fine.

Problems

All major problems with built-in components have been corrected. Some popular third-party extensions currently have some unfixable problems due to the way that they select colors. If you uncover any problems in native screens, report them on theissues page. Ensure that you provide reproduction steps.
