Semantic Noctis

Semantic Noctis is a collection of light & dark themes with a well balanced blend of warm and cold medium contrast colors.

The theme is designed to:

• be easy on the eyes thus reducing the eye strain
• give semantic meaning to theme's colors

Semantic Noctis comes in 2 versions, 1 is dark and 1 is light.

• Semantic Noctis Minimus' background offers a version of the Azureus palette with much lower saturation. (Thank you Draevin for your contribution)
• Semantic Noctis Lux' background is a very saturated very light warm orange

This version has some changes to the original Noctis theme:

• Supports semantic highlighting.
• Some colors are updated to be more distinguishable.
• Workbench colors are adjusted to reduce confusion.

The screenshots below are taken from the upstream repository, so might not reflect the current state of this theme.

Supported Languages

The semantic highlighting is only supported for (read: I only use) the following languages, in order of priority:

• C/C++ (Requires clangd)
• CMake (Requires CMake Language Support)
• Python (Requires Pylance)
• Shell Script (Requires New Syntax Highlighter)
• TOML (Requires Even Better TOML), but with limited support (I rarely use TOML).

Yes, I'm a C/C++ developer:tm:. I use more languages, but most of them have no extensions providing semantic tokens so no semantic highlighting is provided for them (yet). The syntax colors might be updated to be more distinguishable, though. Below are some of them I regularly use (not exhaustive):

• Markdown (I use Markdown All in One)
• LaTeX (I use LaTeX Workshop)
• YAML (I use YAML)
• JSON

All other languages are not supported; only upstream changes will be pulled in.

Syntax colors

If interested, see the source code for the colors used in the syntax/semantic highlighting.
