XpyJs Black is a pure black theme that reduces visual fatigue and highlights the workspace. In terms of code color, different color schemes are used as much as possible to distinguish different contents, enabling developers to quickly scan the required content. And the parameters have been optimized, highlighting the usage paths of the parameters for easy reference.

Highlights
Tuned token scopes for JS/TS, JSON, HTML, CSS, Python, Go, and Markdown so shared concepts use the same tone across files.
Semantic highlighting enabled to keep lambda and inline parameters consistent at declaration and usage sites.
Desaturated UI chrome against a pure black editor background for maximum contrast without glare.
Carefully spaced accent colors for keywords, booleans, and errors to make diagnostics pop without overwhelming the code surface.

Installation

Manual install:
Clone or download this repository.

After installation, choose Preferences > Color Theme > XpyJs Black.
Customization Tips
Scope tweaks live in themes/xpyjs-theme-black.json. Search for the relevant TextMate scope (for example meta.object-literal.key) and adjust the foreground color.
To change semantic token behavior (e.g., parameter styling), edit the semanticTokenColors block near the top of the same file.
UI chrome colors are under the colors section if you want to adapt the side bar or activity bar.
