Claude Dark Theme

A warm dark color theme for Visual Studio Code inspired by Anthropic's Claude brand aesthetic — designed to feel professional and calm, not cold.

Color Palette

Features

• Warm near-black backgrounds with a faint red-orange undertone — no cold blue-black
• Claude coral accent throughout the UI: cursor, active tab stripe, badges, buttons, and active borders
• Full semantic token support for TypeScript, Python, and Rust (via language servers)
• Syntax coverage: JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, HTML, CSS/SCSS, JSON, Markdown, shell scripts
• Consistent theming for git diff, terminal ANSI, debugger icons, testing icons, and merge conflicts

Compatibility

Requires VS Code 0.10.1 or later — compatible with all published VS Code versions.

On VS Code 1.60+, bracket pair colorization and inlay hint colors are active. On older versions those UI elements either don't exist or fall back gracefully to VS Code defaults, with no visual breakage.

Changelog

1.0.3 — README update: compatibility section and changelog.

1.0.2 — Broaden compatibility to all VS Code versions (0.10.1+); add editorIndentGuide fallback colors for VS Code 1.20–1.59.

1.0.1 — Fix repository URLs; README polish.

1.0.0 — Initial release.
