Midnight Macchiato

A warm-amber-on-deep-night VS Code theme in three moods, inspired by Hopper's Nighthawks reimagined as a late-night diner. The diner's light sources — amber lamp, red signage, green counter — stay consistent across all three variants; only the night around them changes.

Variants

• Midnight — deep cool near-black. The flagship.
• Dusk — teal twilight, a touch lighter.
• Evening — warm near-black.

Pick one from Code → Settings → Theme → Color Theme (Cmd/Ctrl+K then Cmd/Ctrl+T).

Install locally

cp -R midnight-macchiato ~/.vscode/extensions/

Fully quit and reopen VS Code, then choose a variant from the Color Theme picker.

Distribute to others

1. Edit package.json: set publisher and the repository URL.
2. Install Node.js (nodejs.org), then the packaging tool: npm install -g @vscode/vsce.
3. vsce package → produces midnight-macchiato-0.1.0.vsix.
4. Ship it one of three ways:
   • Direct file: send the .vsix; recipients run code --install-extension midnight-macchiato-0.1.0.vsix or use Extensions panel → "Install from VSIX…".
   • VS Code Marketplace: create a publisher at marketplace.visualstudio.com, generate an Azure DevOps Personal Access Token, vsce login <publisher>, then vsce publish.
   • Open VSX (for Cursor / VSCodium users): npx ovsx publish midnight-macchiato-0.1.0.vsix -p <openvsx-token>.

Bump version in package.json for each update before re-packaging.
