🎨 Overview

Material Darker PH is a sleek, high-contrast dark theme designed for long coding sessions. Building upon the classic Material Darker aesthetics, this version brings refined color palettes, improved syntax highlighting visibility, and a modern feel to your editor.

Perfect for developers who love the Material Design philosophy but want a deeper, more immersive dark mode experience.

✨ Features

  • Deep Dark Background: Reduces eye strain during night-time coding.
  • Vibrant Syntax Highlighting: Carefully selected colors to make code pop without being harsh.
  • Consistent UI: Polished editor components (sidebar, activity bar, status bar) for a cohesive look.
  • Optimized for Legibility: Enhanced contrast ratios for better readability.
