**The Problem**
- New themes are typically forked from other themes, carrying the bugs with them
- .tmThemes are overly verbose and difficult to maintain
- Themes are difficult to write from scratch
**The Solution**
What if all you needed to do to generate a theme was specify a few colors and everything else was handled for you? 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
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.
