Misc

This is my first theme ever, so if you see something amiss, please feel free to file an issue! I will happily fix bugs and also accept pull requests.

Thanks to Sarah Drasner, for writing this blog post about vscode theme creation and the demos that I copied over from her Night Owl theme.

This palette was inspired in part by the British Palette Theme.
