CrimZen

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 Hack, IBM Plex Mono, and Deja Vu Sans Mono fonts.

Problems

Visual Studio Code controls the colors of a few elements, but grants access to dozens of others. I was not able to locate every single setting. In almost all of those cases, I allowed Visual Studio Code to set defaults. However, because I'm mixing light and dark theme design patterns, I expect some of those defaults might result in major legibility problems. If you find one, please report it on the theme's issues page. Ensure that you provide reproduction steps.
