The Philosophy

Functional Matrix is a dark, monochromatic green theme inspired by the iconic digital rain of The Matrix.

Unlike purely aesthetic themes, Functional Matrix is built for productivity and long-term usability, especially on large codebases and complex projects. It uses a consistent green color palette to reduce visual noise and help you stay in the flow.

The design philosophy is simple: keep the core code clean and uniform, but make the most important architectural elements stand out. To achieve this, comments are rendered in a distinct gray to push them to the background, while the syntax highlighting is specifically tuned to make key constructs pop:

  • Function Calls
  • Keywords & Control Flow
  • Type Definitions

The result is a theme that is both stylish and highly practical, allowing you to easily write complex code while maintaining focus.

Key Features

  • Monochromatic Green Palette: A single-hue color scheme that's easy on the eyes and minimizes distraction.
  • High-Contrast Comments: Gray comments provide clear separation from the functional code, letting you focus on what's executing.
  • Optimized for Key Constructs: Syntax rules are tailored to draw your attention to the most important parts of your code.
  • Designed for Usability: Created with the goal of being a daily driver for developers working on large, intricate projects.

Optimized For

This theme has been tuned with specific support for a variety of languages to ensure key syntax is highlighted effectively. While it will work for most languages, it includes specific optimizations for:

  • Frontend: JavaScript, TypeScript, JSX/TSX, HTML, CSS, SCSS, LESS
  • Backend: Go, Python, Rust, Java, C#, PHP
  • General: C/C++, SQL, Shell Scripts, Markdown, JSON, YAML
