A clean dark and light theme for Visual Studio Code, built around the Version 14 brand palette — high-contrast accents on deep neutrals.
v0.4.0 note: this release replaces the previous signature lime-green accent (#D2FF3A) with a violet hue and applies the same contrast regrade shipped in version14/zed-theme v0.4.1. The violet accent is a placeholder, not final — it will change again in a future release once a permanent replacement hue is chosen.
