Lumix
A smart VS Code extension that automates your theme experience so you can focus longer, reduce visual fatigue, and keep your workspace aligned with the moment.
Lumix switches your editor theme automatically based on time or startup behavior. Whether you want a lighter setup during the day or a more comfortable dark environment at night, Lumix keeps your workspace in sync without manual changes.
✨ Features
- Reduce eye strain with a theme flow designed to match your working hours.
- Schedule mode to change between light and dark themes at configurable times.
- Random mode to refresh your workspace with a random theme on startup.
- Pause control to temporarily stop Lumix without affecting the current theme.
- Fast access through commands and a keyboard shortcut.
- Flexible setup through VS Code settings and workspace overrides.
