Soft Lights — VS Code Theme

Soft Lights is a gentle, refined color theme for Visual Studio Code. It is a minor, tastefully balanced alteration of the Field Lights (Ayu Mirage) theme, created for users who prefer a soft, low-contrast environment with warm undertones and comfortable readability. In addition to subtle palette adjustments, Soft Lights also includes custom styling for Python semantic tokens, providing clearer visual structure while preserving the theme’s calm aesthetic.

  • Softer contrast for backgrounds and UI surfaces
  • Mildly desaturated syntax colors for a calmer coding experience
  • Reduced harsh highlights to maintain focus without visual fatigue
  • Maintains the general aesthetic and clarity of the original theme
