Activation

After installing the theme, you can activate it by following these steps:

  2. In the search bar, type "Color Theme" and select "Preferences: Color Theme" from the dropdown.
  3. Choose the "Scepter Theme" from the list of available themes.

Features

  • Improved color contrast for better readability.
