Development

Adding New Themes

Create a color palette file in color_palettes/:
- Use color_palettes/palette-template.json as a base
- Define all 46 required colors
- Add descriptive comments for each color's purpose
Generate the theme:

python3 generate_theme.py color_palettes/your-palette.json

Update package.json to include the new theme

Color Palette System

The themes use a unified 46-color system:

Colors 1-6: Background colors (darkest to lightest)
Colors 7-8: Borders and dividers
Colors 9-13: Text hierarchy (brightest to dimmest)
Colors 14-19: Syntax highlighting (different token types)
Colors 20-24: Semantic state colors (errors, warnings, info, success)
Colors 25-26: UI accent colors
Colors 27-29: Terminal special colors
Colors 30-46: Transparencies and overlays

Design Philosophy

These themes follow the principle of narrative-driven design:

Carefully calibrated contrast for reduced eye strain
Semantic color consistency across all themes
Color intensity that matches each theme's inspiration - from subtle monochromes to vibrant spice oranges
Context-aware contrast levels for different UI elements
Accessibility through proper luminance ratios
Each theme tells a story from the Dune universe through its color choices

  "workbench.colorCustomizations": {

      "editor.background": "#0A0A0A"
