Claude Code Theme

A theme collection for Visual Studio Code inspired by the Claude Code terminal interface - featuring warm oranges, deep darks, and cream accents for a comfortable and focused coding experience. Includes both dark and light variants.

Theme Variants

This extension includes four carefully crafted theme variants - two dark and two light:

A warmer variation with amber and orange tones that creates a cozy, inviting atmosphere. Perfect for evening coding or if you prefer warmer color temperatures.

☀️ Light Themes

Claude Code Light

A clean, bright light theme with a warm parchment-toned background. Offers excellent readability with rich, high-contrast syntax colors - perfect for daytime coding or well-lit environments.
