Softnight

A VS Code colour theme tuned for long sessions and comfortable eyes.

Why this theme?

I built SniperXJohn for my own daily use, with colours that are easy on the eyes over long coding sessions. It is shared as-is and updated occasionally.

Installation

1. Open VS Code and go to Extensions (Ctrl+Shift+X).
2. Search for SniperXJohn and click Install.
3. Open the theme picker with Ctrl+K Ctrl+T (Cmd+K Cmd+T on macOS) and select SniperXJohn.

Or from the command line:

code --install-extension asabhi6776.sniperxjohn

Recommended settings

{
  "editor.semanticHighlighting.enabled": true,
  "editor.bracketPairColorization.enabled": true
}

Customising

To tweak individual colours without forking, override them in settings.json:

{
  "workbench.colorCustomizations": {
    "[SniperXJohn]": { "editor.background": "#101010" }
  },
  "editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
    "[SniperXJohn]": { "comments": "#6a737d" }
  }
}

Feedback and contributions

Found a hard-to-read colour? Open an issue with a screenshot and the file type. PRs against themes/SniperXJohn.json are welcome.
