iMproved - An improved minimal theme

This is a fork of the i Minimal theme by @ctrlplusb. I forked this and uploaded a new theme because I liked the theme a lot, but thought some items were not displaying correctly. Please open an issue if there was something that I missed or you have a suggestion! I check GitHub on a daily basis.

This theme works very well with the NightSwitch plugin.

I recommend to use a font that supports "cursive italics". The one I use is Cartograph CF. It is a paid font, but you can download it for free from sites like bestfonts.pro. For example, Ellograph CF is another font from the creator of Cartograph CF and is available on bestfonts.pro. If you decide to download it for free, but end up liking it, then I recommend you buy the official version. $40 isn't cheap for a font, but please show support by buying from the creator if you end up liking and using the font.

Fixes

  • Background and foreground no longer the same for focused elements, such as inline suggestions and in the Command Palette.

There is no iMproved Solarised

I got rid of the i Solarised since I had made no changes to it and don't plan to use it. If you want it, create and issue and I can add it back in. Or, even better, suggest which changes you would like to see in an iMproved Solarised theme.
