Zenith Readable

A dark VS Code theme forked from the excellent Zenith Theme by britown. Big thanks to britown for the original design — this fork builds on that foundation with improved contrast and language-specific colour tuning.

What's different

  • Higher contrast text throughout for easier reading
  • Terraform / HCL gets a full colour treatment:
    • Orange — block type keywords (resource, variable, output, data, module)
    • Purple #C792EA — block labels and names ("aws_instance", "my_bucket")
    • Light blue — attribute names (provider, scope, role_definition_name)
    • Teal — built-in functions and type names
    • White — variable references and expressions
    • Red — numbers and booleans
  • Reduced orange overuse — only Terraform block keywords stay orange, everything else uses a distinct palette

Installation

  1. Open VS Code
  2. Cmd+Shift+P → Extensions: Install from VSIX...
  3. Select the .vsix file

Or search Zenith Readable in the Extensions marketplace.
