OLED Dark Modern Theme
OLED Dark Modern Theme is a pure-black VS Code color theme designed for OLED displays and low-distraction coding sessions. It keeps the clean, familiar feel of Dark Modern while pushing contrast deeper for richer blacks, sharper focus, and a more premium nighttime experience.
Why OLED Dark Modern
- Pure black surfaces for OLED-friendly UI
- Dark Modern-inspired syntax with a cleaner visual hierarchy
- Comfortable contrast for long development sessions
- Simple local extension setup for fast iteration
