About

Aura Dark is a deep purple dark theme built for developers who spend long hours in their editor.

Every color means something specific — keywords, functions, strings, properties all have their own distinct color so your eye finds what it needs without thinking. The background #1E1F29 is warm enough to feel comfortable after hour four, without being so dark it strains your eyes.

Covers 35+ languages with dedicated rules for each one — TypeScript, Python, Rust, Go, HTML, CSS, Docker, SQL, and many more.
