Gloam: VSCode Theme

✨ A soft, yet charming VSCode theme that goes easy on your eyes.


Build & Release Release to Marketplace


🌟 Features

  • Warm Tone: A soft, warm color palette that's suitable for long, coding hours.
  • High Contrast: Makes it easy to read and write code.
  • Universal: Works well with most languages and file types.
  • Open-source: Feel free to contribute and make it better!

🪶 Why?

Ever since I've started programming in VSCode, there's always been an everyday hassle related to customization. I wanted to find the proper theme that matches perfectly with my desktop environment and at the same time, is also eye-friendly. I've also tried making themes without deep indulgence into optimized color palettes before, but those didn't work out as expected. So out of this necessity, I've created Gloam, a theme that attempts to solve both of these issues and make your coding experience more enjoyable and aesthetic at the same time.
