Light Themes

Ayu Cola Light

The gold standard of light themes. Crisp, clean, and perfectly balanced, it provides a refreshingly bright workspace for maximum daytime productivity.

A soft and romantic touch for your workspace. This variant blends delicate rose tones with clear syntax highlighting, creating an atmosphere that is both gentle and focused.

Ayu Cola Shiba Inu Light

Warm, cozy, and loyal. Inspired by the golden-cream hues of a Shiba Inu, this theme brings a friendly and inviting glow to your coding sessions.

Dark Themes
