Atlantu Color Theme

Atlantu is a personal dark theme for Visual Studio Code, modified from One Dark Pro.

It keeps the workbench quiet and compact: charcoal editor surfaces, muted side panels, low-noise tabs, and a small set of warm amber accents for focused UI states. The editor palette is more saturated than the surrounding chrome, so syntax stands out without making the whole window feel bright.

Style

• Graphite backgrounds for the editor, sidebar, tabs, widgets, and terminal.
• Warm amber accents for buttons, active tabs, badges, and remote status.
• Blue-gray selection and focus colors that stay visible on dark surfaces.
• High-contrast syntax colors for quick scanning across dense code.
• Muted comments, line numbers, whitespace, and inactive chrome.
• Semantic highlighting enabled for variables, parameters, properties, and enum members.

Syntax Palette

• Functions: orange.
• Keywords and macros: soft purple.
• Local variables: light blue.
• Parameters: clear blue.
• Properties and enum members: green.
• Types and classes: cyan-green.
• Strings: warm peach.
• Numbers: pale blue.
• Comments: neutral gray.

The theme includes extra TextMate scope tuning for JSON, Markdown, Makefile, PowerShell, TypeScript/JavaScript, XML, and CSS.
