Ugly Like Me 🤢

A VS Code theme on a mission to become the ugliest theme out there. Disgusting, yet legible: every colour clashes, but every one passes a contrast check, so you can actually code in it (and suffer).

Ugly Like Me

Flavours

Theme Vibe
Ugly Like Me Bog brown, bile yellow, hot pink, radioactive lime
Ugly Like Me: Hot Dog Stand A loving tribute to the Windows 3.1 colour scheme nobody asked to return

Hot Dog Stand

Install

  1. Open Extensions (Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+X) and search Ugly Like Me
  2. Ctrl/Cmd+K Ctrl/Cmd+T and pick your poison

Make it uglier

All colours live in build.js. Never edit themes/*.json by hand.

npm run check   # every syntax colour must be ≥ 4.5:1 on the background
npm run build   # regenerates themes/

PRs that make it worse are very welcome → Ugly Like Me. Welcome to the ugly side.
