Nofrils (Sans Syntax Highlighting) Themes for VS Code

Bare-bones syntax coloring theme for VS Code, based on https://github.com/robertmeta/nofrils and https://github.com/urld/vscode-nofrills.git.

Because simple shouldn't mean ugly.

Why no syntax colors?

  • Linus Åkesson: A case against syntax highlighting
  • Kyle Isom: Through the Looking Glass :syntax off

[^fn00]: Wikipedia Entry for Damian Conway

"I don’t use a colour scheme at all, and very rarely use syntax highlighting. I find multicoloured code very distracting…almost inducing sensory overload. It much easier to cope with just my standard yellow-on-black terminal window." [^fn01]
