🎉 Optional Glow Effect

Want to take things up a notch with a glowing, futuristic look? Follow these steps:

  1. Install the Custom CSS and JS Loader extension.

  2. Add this to your settings.json:

    {
      "vscode_custom_css.imports": [
        "file://FULL/PATH/lights-on.css"
      ]
    }
    

    Replace FULL/PATH with the actual location of the CSS file, for example:

    • Windows:
      file:///C:/Users/username/.vscode/extensions/theplumup/lights-on.css
    • Mac/Linux:
      file:///home/username/.vscode/extensions/theplumup/lights-on.css
  3. Open the command palette (Ctrl + Shift + P or Shift + ⌘ + P) and select Reload Custom CSS and JS.

Note: The glow effect is cool but not ideal for long coding sessions. Take care of those eyes!


💡 Inspiration and Credits

This theme draws its vibrant energy and style from the dynamic spirit of Kabuchiko, the neon-soaked district that never sleeps. Inspired by its glowing signs, buzzing streets, and a hint of mystery, this project captures the essence of urban nights and retro-futuristic vibes.


🔮 Final Touch

Enjoy coding with ThePlumUp and let the neon vibes keep you inspired.# ThePlumUp-theme
