Well that's what this module aims to accomplish. All you need to do is specify a set of "base colors" (background, foreground and 4 accent colors) and you have a reasonably good looking theme. + +All other VS Code theme colors are then derived from those base colors, with the option to tweak each underlying color as well. + ## Support Support below means that the editor has explicit support for the languages; the colors should match their meanings. Other languages will probably still look alright but there is no guarentee that they will.
