Plastic
A simple syntax and UI theme for Visual Studio Code.
Notable features
- Dark UI elements for all-day coding.
- Small colour palette to avoid visual overload.
- Additional deprioritised-punctuation theme; concentrate on the content.
Colours
Inspired by Atom's One Dark theme, yet simpler and darker.

Contribute
Themes can always be improved and tweaked so please feel free to log issues and
send pull requests. However, please keep in mind that this theme strives to
remain simple and language agnostic; for example, please do not ask for
blah.blah.php or blah.blah.c scopes to be added. Also, and this is purely
personal, I'm a JavaScript developer and therefore anything that alters the
colours for the JavaScript language will receive much more scrutiny before being
merged in.
Clone the repository to .vscode/extenstions/(remember to remove any other
installed versions of Plastic), run yarn to install dependencies, and
yarn docs to serve the documentation page.
Use Microsoft's
theme color reference
for UI theming help.
You'll notice that the syntax is grouped by colour instead of scope. I find this
much nicer to maintain.
Happy hacking :)
