The Sorcerer

Two color themes for VS Code:

  • The Sorcerer: Sorcerer, the vibrant dark theme by Mark Thomas Miller, unchanged.
  • The Sorcerer Light: the same colors on light backgrounds.

Palette

Dark Light
Background #0e141a #ffffff
Sidebar, panels #0a1016 #f0f3f7
Text #ffffff #1a222c
Gray #6e7d9a #5f6d88
Pink: functions, tags, accent #ff006a #c70058 (accent #d6005f)
Blue: variables, links #44dfff #007fa3
Green: strings #aaed36 #4f8a00
Yellow: decorators #f5af19 #a86c00

The light colors are Sorcerer's, darkened until text on white reads at 4.5:1 or better (Sorcerer's blue on white is 1.6:1).

Install

Extensions view → search The Sorcerer → Install, then Preferences: Color Theme → The Sorcerer or The Sorcerer Light.

To follow the system's light and dark mode:

"window.autoDetectColorScheme": true,
"workbench.preferredDarkColorTheme": "The Sorcerer",
"workbench.preferredLightColorTheme": "The Sorcerer Light"

Changing it

The light theme is generated from the dark one: its token rules come from themes/the-sorcerer-color-theme.json with the colors mapped in scripts/build-light.mjs, which also lists the light workbench colors. After editing either, run npm run build.
