RWSDK Dark Theme 🌲

The RWSDK Dark Theme brings RedwoodSDK's warm, earthy branding into your nighttime coding environment. With its signature orange (#e47947), rich earth tones, and deep charcoal background (#202020), this theme delivers excellent readability while reducing eye strain during long coding sessions in low-light conditions. Perfect for developers who want their VS Code to reflect RedwoodSDK's distinctive brand identity while providing a comfortable dark coding experience.

Acknowledgements

This theme stands on the shoulders on those that have gone before me, borrowing from Wes Bos's Cobalt2 theme and Sarah Drasner's Night Owl theme.
