This page obviously is about a syntax theme, but for this one we have somehow a back story that is way different than just different coloring. When people say beautiful codes they always mean less complexity or clever code but when we say that we mean it for real. The code must look nice when you read it. In order to manage the code we invented [Kary Foundation’s Coding Style (KFCS)](https://github.com/karyfoundation/comment/wiki) and the fact that we have a very restricted way of [coding style](http://kary.us/2015/02/12/arendelle-coding-styles/). Now beauty matters but also it’s the psychology that matters. As developers what you see all day long is code. So it matters that the code be pretty and it matters that your editor is pretty because well it’s your life happening behind it. But how should it look? what colors must be there? For what we know we all are playful people. We have an active inner child. Our editors must look like playgrounds. We have developed a rainbow colored theme. With worm colors chosen very carefully for the finest code quality possible. From what we noticed [iA Writer](https://ia.net/writer) has the most carefully defined experience. We loved the `gold` and `red`/`orange` colors used by their highlighter and inspired by their design we shaped a coding experience that for us was the most joyful look of the code ever possible. ## The theme… #### JavaScript / TypeScript screen shot 2017-05-12 at 7 32 35 pm

## Good font to use with this theme? To use it best, we suggest you use the medium weight of [Hasklig](https://github.com/i-tu/Hasklig) typeface. It's a fork of [Adobe Source Code Pro](https://adobe-fonts.github.io/source-code-pro) with programmer ligatures. Our theme is the best match to this typeface. ## Thanks to Thanks to these very awesome people for reporting problems, suggesting ideas and helping us bring new languages to the them. - [@coastermcgee](https://github.com/karyfoundation/kary.themeX/blob/master/https/github.com/coastermcgee) - [Dave Redfern](https://github.com/daveredfern) - [@sladiri](https://github.com/sladiri) - [Steve Lombardi](https://github.com/smlombardi) - [@m-thorsen](https://github.com/m-thorsen) - [页一木](https://github.com/Murriouz) And thanks to these guys at Visual Studio Code's team for always being there when we had a problem and needed hot fixes and or when we asked questions and they answered kindly! - [João Moreno](https://github.com/joaomoreno) - [Daniel Imms](https://github.com/Tyriar) - [Martin Aeschlimann](https://github.com/aeschli) - [Johannes Rieken](https://github.com/jrieken) - [Alexandru Dima](https://github.com/alexandrudima) - [Kai Maetzel](https://github.com/kieferrm) - [Benjamin Pasero](https://github.com/bpasero) And thanks to [Sheetal Nandi](https://github.com/sheetalkamat) for fixing one TypeScript grammar problem for us :D ## What's new? ### 14.0.0 - **New!** — This version includes a new theme called __Minimal Dark__ which features the same preferences as the dark theme but only it has no __orange__ / __red__ on the dark!
