Modern Turbo Pascal UI

Nostalgic color themes for VS Code inspired by the classic Borland Turbo Pascal IDE. Features both the authentic original color scheme and a modern Nord-inspired variant.

🎨 Themes

Turbo Pascal Modern

A refined take on the classic Turbo Pascal aesthetic with Nord color palette influences:

• Dark navy background with high contrast
• Softened colors for reduced eye strain
• Universal token colors across all languages
• Perfect for long coding sessions

For a longer design write-up (workbench coverage, panel vs editor, debug console, tab borders, and theme API limits), see Turbo Pascal Modern in VS Code in the repo docs/ folder.
