Minor ThemesA collection of VS Code color themes — soft pastels, pride palettes, retro terminals, and country palettes rooted in traditional culture. Theme guideEach palette is defined in InnocentMeaning: Innocent — pure, gentle, unassuming. A single light theme built on blush rose and soft lavender (hues ~280–340°). Backgrounds stay near white with a faint pink wash; text is muted purple-gray. Accents are dusty rose and periwinkle — selection, cursor, and brackets feel airy rather than loud. Syntax: keywords in rose, strings in violet-gray, numbers in deeper pink. Best if you want a calm, feminine editor that never strains the eyes. MaidenMeaning: Maiden — young woman; also the romantic, delicate sense of “maidenly.” Warm shell pink (low saturation red, ~94% lightness) with deep rose-red body text and golden-yellow highlights ( GirlMeaning: Girl — youthful, bold, playful (not “girly” as in childish — more vivid and confident). High-saturation coral-red panel (~h 4–6°) on white, with hot pink quotes and sky-blue intervals. Accents are loud: full-strength red cursor, cyan selections, yellow “today” markers. Dark Girl preserves the coral/pink/cyan energy on a dark base. For people who like their theme to have personality. MorandiMeaning: Named after Italian painter Giorgio Morandi — his still lifes are famous for dusty, muted, harmonious grays. Warm greige window (~h 35°, low saturation) and blue-gray text (~h 230°). Accents are desaturated teal and dusty rose — nothing neon. Borders and grids are soft; contrast is deliberately restrained. Dark Morandi shifts to a cool charcoal while keeping Morandi’s muted blue-green highlights. Calm, gallery-like, easy on the eyes for long sessions. LGBTQMeaning: Colors drawn from the rainbow pride flag (Gilbert Baker design). Neutral cool-gray shell; stripe colors appear as accents:
Dark LGBTQ inverts to a dark shell with the same hue family. Celebratory without painting the whole editor in stripes. LesbianMeaning: An inward color language — the warmth and closeness of love between women. Think dusk on a shared balcony, terracotta walls catching the last light, dusty rose in shadow, magenta as pulse rather than symbol. The palette runs warm peach shell (~h 25°) through sunset orange intervals, blush pink quote glow, and deep rose-magenta for keywords and cursor — like intimacy that is tender but not fragile. Dark Lesbian keeps that glow on charcoal: embers, not neon. Compared with LGBTQ’s outward spectrum, Lesbian stays in one emotional register — close, bodily, quiet confidence. MS-DOSMeaning: Microsoft DOS — the classic PC text mode of the 1980s–90s. Saturated IBM blue background (~h 240°), white foreground, yellow strings, green actions, cyan muted text — the familiar Matrix IIMeaning: Reference to The Matrix (1999) — “Matrix” with a sequel nod in the name. Neon green (~h 135°) on near-black green-tinted panels. Glassy depth via subtle grid and border greens; cursor and active elements glow. Strings and functions pick up the bright green; keywords stay in a mid green. Cyberpunk terminal — best in a dim room. Country themesMeaning: Each palette draws on classic cultural color expression — landscape, craft, ritual, and everyday beauty — not national flags. Ukraine’s sky-and-wheat pairing is the clearest example; the others follow the same spirit.
Primary hues tint the shell; secondary and accent colors carry strings, cursor, selection, and git marks. Light themes use pale washed backgrounds; Norway and German use deep cultural shadows with brighter accents. InstallFrom the Marketplace — search for Minor Themes in VS Code or Cursor, then install.
