Pulsar

A sleek, refined dark theme for deep focus.

Pulsar is inspired by the default Cursor IDE aesthetic — near-black backgrounds, soft pastel accents, and a carefully balanced syntax palette. Every color was tuned for legibility and visual comfort, so your eyes stay relaxed even after hours of coding.

✨ Highlights

• Minimal & distraction-free — deep #141414 / #181818 backgrounds with subtle, low-contrast UI borders that let your code take center stage
• Soft pastel syntax palette — mint keywords, peach types, lavender properties, pink strings, and golden functions, all easy on the eyes
• Semantic highlighting support — fine-tuned token colors for TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, C/C++, Rust, PHP, Go, Java, Markdown, and more
• Consistent everywhere — terminal ANSI colors, diff views, merge conflicts, and Git decorations all follow the same palette
