🔧 Customization (For Perfectionists and Control Freaks)
Think you can make perfection even more perfect? Bold of you! But we'll humor you:
{
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
"[Purply (Dark)]": {
// Your "improvements" here
"editor.background": "#1a1423"
// Pro tip: Don't mess with perfection
},
"[Purply (Light)]": {
// Your custom colors here
"editor.background": "#fdfcff"
// But if you must, at least keep it purple-ish
}
}
}
Disclaimer: We are not responsible for themes that become less purple due to user modifications. Purple purity is sacred.
🐛 Issues & Feedback (The Complaint Department)
Found a bug? Impossible! But we'll pretend to take you seriously:
Common "Issues" and Their Solutions:
- "It's too purple!" - You're using it wrong. There's no such thing as too purple.
- "My code still has bugs!" - That's a you problem, not a theme problem.
- "I can't see anything!" - Try opening your eyes. If that doesn't work, adjust your monitor brightness.
- "My cat doesn't like it!" - Your cat has questionable taste. Time for a new cat.
