✨ Features

Warm, green-based palette: Designed to minimize blue light fatigue and complement night-shift tools like redshift and f.lux.
Rich syntax highlighting: Full coverage for TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Rust, Go, C/C++, HTML/CSS, JSON, YAML, TOML, Markdown, Shell, and more.
Semantic Highlighting: Full LSP support (Rust Analyzer, Pylance, clangd, gopls) for distinguishing declarations, parameters, types, and properties.
Cursive / Italic Support: Configured for italic comments and keywords (looks best with fonts supporting cursive italics like Operator Mono, Victor Mono, or Fira Code iCursive).
Customizable Build System: A modular generator in src/ allows you to customize colors, contrast, and scopes, and recompile theme files instantly.
