CyberMattLee

A neon-on-midnight VS Code colour theme inspired by CyberMattLee — Matt Lee's hot-magenta beard and deep-purple cyber aesthetic. Raise the tide of cybersecurity, one keystroke at a time.

Two variants ship in one extension:

Matt Lee Full Beard — the dark theme. Deep-purple SOC at midnight, lit by the iconic hacker beard.
Matt Lee Shaved — the light theme. Beard off, clean white, magenta accents.
