Quaternion Color theme
Designed with the Rust programming language in mind, but should work with many other languages.
Note: in order for this theme to work properly, I highly recommend that you copy the following into
your VScode settings.json (open Settings and find the small icon in the upper right with the
description "Open Settings (JSON)"):
"editor.bracketPairColorization.enabled": true,
"editor.guides.bracketPairs": true,
"editor.bracketPairColorization.independentColorPoolPerBracketType": true,
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
"editorBracketHighlight.foreground1": "#c49d00",
"editorBracketHighlight.foreground2": "#ff8080",
"editorBracketHighlight.foreground3": "#ff2adc",
"editorBracketHighlight.foreground4": "#a35bff",
"editorBracketHighlight.foreground5": "#00b2ff",
"editorBracketHighlight.foreground6": "#00cb9d",
"editorBracketHighlight.unexpectedBracket.foreground": "#f00",
},
Other things I recommend are the Error Lens extension (usernamehw.errorlens), the Input font face
(https://input.djr.com/, Input Mono size-14px Narrow Light lineheight-1x and default letterforms)
and these other settings for settings.json:
"workbench.colorTheme": "Quaternion",
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
"[Quaternion]": {
"editor.background": "#171717" // e.x. for if you want to customize further
}
},
// If the font turns into some nonmonospace font it has not been installed correctly
"editor.fontFamily": "Input Regular",
"debug.console.fontFamily": "Input Regular",
// you may need to adjust this for your display so
// that the aliasing falls on the right boundaries
"editor.fontSize": 14,
"debug.console.wordWrap": true,
"editor.minimap.renderCharacters": false,
"editor.minimap.side": "left",
"editor.minimap.maxColumn": 100,
"editor.wordWrap": "bounded",
"editor.rulers": [100], // if this is where maximum formatting width is
"editor.cursorBlinking": "phase",
"editor.cursorStyle": "block",
"editor.wordWrapColumn": 120,
"editor.renderWhitespace": "trailing",
// note: you might not want this if you do not have a source controlled environment
"files.autoSave": "onFocusChange",
"files.eol": "\n",
// Sometimes it is faster to do without
//"editor.autoClosingComments": "never",
//"editor.autoClosingQuotes": "never",
// Important for rust-analyzer to not conflict with your manual builds
"rust-analyzer.cargo.targetDir": true,
