Interlinked — Blade Runner 2049 inspired

A dark teal terminal-glow theme for VS Code and Cursor, inspired by Blade Runner 2049 and adapted from the Zed theme by Takk8IS. Deep teal-black surfaces, glowing mint and aquamarine text, and amber used sparingly as an accent.

Install

• VS Code — search for "Interlinked" in the Extensions view, or install xsmbradpitt.interlinked-theme from the Visual Studio Marketplace.
• Cursor — Cursor installs extensions from Open VSX, where Interlinked is not listed yet. Until it is, install the .vsix manually (see below).
• Manually — download the .vsix from GitHub Releases, then run Extensions: Install from VSIX... from the Command Palette.

Then run Preferences: Color Theme and select Interlinked.

What is covered

Workbench and editor: editor (gutter, bracket pair colorization, diagnostics, inlay hints, sticky scroll), side bar, activity bar, status bar, title bar, tabs, panel, lists and trees, inputs, dropdowns, checkboxes, buttons, quick input and the Command Palette, notifications, peek view, minimap, scrollbar, breadcrumbs, hover / suggest / find widgets, badges and progress, focus borders.

Terminal and source control: the integrated terminal with all 16 ANSI colours, Git decorations, the diff editor and merge conflicts.

Syntax: TextMate scopes and semantic tokens, checked against TypeScript/JavaScript, C#, Kotlin, Java, HTML, CSS, SQL, Bash, JSON, YAML and Markdown.

Cursor's own UI picks the theme up wherever it uses standard workbench colour keys.

Inspiration

Colours are inspired by the film Blade Runner 2049. The stills below are hotlinked from the upstream theme repository and remain the property of their respective rights holders (the film's studios and Territory Studio); they are not part of this extension.
