Glassmorphism Themes for VS Code
Overview
Glassmorphism Themes is a collection of stunning, glassmorphism-inspired color themes for Visual Studio Code. These themes bring a modern, translucent aesthetic to your coding environment, enhancing both style and readability.
What is Glassmorphism?
Glassmorphism is a visual-design style characterized by translucent interface components that create depth and contrast between foreground and background elements, mimicking the appearance of frosted glass. This design trend has gained popularity for its ability to add a modern touch to user interfaces while maintaining clarity and focus on content.
Disclaimer
Please note that these themes may not be suitable for everyone. Design preferences are subjective, and while some users may find the glassmorphism effect visually appealing, others may prefer a more traditional or minimalistic look. That's perfectly okay! Feel free to explore and choose what works best for you.

Best Practices for Using Glassmorphism
