Tropical Time ｜热带时光

A sensual, tropical-inspired color theme for developers.

专为开发者打造, 富有质感的热带风情主题

🌴 About

The dark themes are designed with enhanced readability to work well with monitors that have reduced brightness, while the light themes maintain a consistent color schema that complements the dark variants.

Here's how I use the themes:

🏢 Work

System: Windows 11 dark mode
Display: Monitor with reduced lightness for better eye care
- Nightmare themes for WSL applications
- Twilight themes for Windows native applications

🏡 Home

System: macOS light mode
Display: Monitor with normal lightness for better display performance
- Daydream themes for coding
- Morninglight themes for note-taking
