More Info

Pen Paper Coffee :pencil2::scroll::coffee:

Pen Paper Coffee is a syntax theme for Visual Studio Code and is specifically designed for writing papers, essays etc. in markdown. The theme features several useful, but not distracting syntax highlightings. The overall colors are inspired by the soft beige paper you would find in a notebook. While the ink (text color) is a dark blue, all quotes and citations are in a warm brownish orange to contrast them better to your own words.

Although the goal of this theme was to have a pleasant markdown writing experience, it looks good with other docs too! I personally use it for much of my coding work (JS, HTML, CSS, c++, python, glsl).

Original Atom Theme

This this the adaption of my original "Pen Paper Coffee" theme for Atom, which I and apparently quite a few other people have used intensely. Since Atom got abandoned in the last few years, I decided to create a new theme for VS Code which became my new go-to editor for most things. I tried to match the colors of the original theme as closely as possible to maintain the feel of the original theme and also made some adjustments for some syntaxes/languages.

Since VS Code themes allow styling of the overall UI, you can now enjoy an even more coffee-paper-like feel with this theme. :D
