Kitty Party

Five watermelon color themes for VS Code, plus an opt-in party: dancing cats, falling watermelon slices, and small decorations in your editor.
The themes are always on once you pick one. The party is off until you start it.

The party
Click the cat icon in the Activity Bar (view name: Meow Business) and press Start party.
- Three cats: Mochi (orange tabby), Salem (black cat) and Pudding (calico). Click one to choose who comes.
- Melon levels 1 to 5: more melons means more falling slices in the panel and more decorations in your editor.
- Editor decorations: small watermelon icons appear at the end of some visible lines, and your cat shows in the gutter on others. Hover a decoration for a short message from your cat.
- Status bar item: click to start or stop.
- Large view: Kitty Party: Open Large Kitty Party opens the cats in an editor tab.
- Save celebration: optional burst of melons when you save a file.
Decorations are visual only. The extension never edits your files.
Animations respect your system's reduced-motion setting.
