Kanagawa Black

🌊 KANAGAWA.BLACK.vscode 🌊

A black theme edition for the VS Code port of the amazing KANAGAWA.nvim colorscheme by rebelot. Credit for the original port goes to barklan.

Fork overview

This is a very simple fork that combines Kanagawa beautiful colors with a full black editor.
The Kanagawa elegance with the beautiful black, the best of both worlds!

Credit goes entirely to barklan for his awesome port.
We also take heavy inspiration from the Pitch Black theme colors.

Customization

You can customize this theme to your liking by appending the settings below to your settings.json file.

Comments

The Kanagawa comment color doesn't look as good in a black background, so we are using the default Dark+ theme's comments color.
If you prefer a stronger color that also looks really nice:

{
  "editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
    "[Kanagawa]": {
      "comments": {
        "foreground": "#FF9E3B"
      }
    }
  }
}

Indent guides

If you want to make the Editor ident guides "invisible" (they are still visible when using selections), use this:

{
    "workbench.colorCustomizations": {
        "[Kanagawa]": {
            "editorIndentGuide.background": "#000", // Indent lines
            "editorIndentGuide.activeBackground": "#000", // Active indent line
    }
}

Extreme ricing

This theme works really well when used with the Background extension. It lets you define custom transparent wallpapers for VS Code.

The result looks like this:

I recommend adding this to your settings.json to make the terminal transparent:

{
  "workbench.colorCustomizations": {
    "[Kanagawa Black]": {
      "terminal.background": "#1f1f1f00"
    }
  }
}

Misc
