Alabaster Variant theme

sample-image

This theme is inspired by the motivation of Tonsky's Alabaster. In fact, most of the light variant of this theme is lifted from his own extension. I decided to make this theme for two main reasons:

  1. I was irritated that there wasn't a single extension providing both a light and dark variant that were consistent.

While the themes provided here are not entirely consistent 😅, at least not while they are in their infancy, light and dark themes are both available.

  1. I didn't like the UI color scheme for existing extensions.

I'm not generally a fan of "flattening" the UI scheme; Where many UI elements have the same background color. Nor am I a fan of "tinted" themes, where the base color has some color. The themes provided here have non-tinted themes, where the elements are separated rather than flattened.
