Night Owl 🌌

This theme is based on Sarah Drasner's Night Owl and modified to be branded by Vagalume Digital's colors.

A Visual Studio Code theme for the fireflies out there. Fine-tuned for those of us who like to code late into the night. Color choices have taken into consideration what is accessible to people with colorblindness and in low-light circumstances. Decisions were also based on meaningful contrast for reading comprehension and for optimal razzle dazzle. ✨

Preferences shown in the preview

The font in the preview image is Fira Code, available here. Editor settings to activate font ligatures:

"editor.fontFamily": "Fira Code",
"editor.fontLigatures": true,

The preview image is using Bracket Pair Colorizer, a really cool extension that highlights matching brackets. This can help reduce unwanted errors.

I use this setting:

"bracketPairColorizer.forceIterationColorCycle": true,
