"editor.fontLigatures": true
}After years of trying different themes, I found that most either:
- Had too much contrast, causing eye strain after hours of coding
- Used aggressive reds and harsh colors
- Were too dark or too bright
Soft DeLight was designed to solve these issues:
- Light theme uses a warm off-white background (
#FAF9F6) instead of stark white - Blue Edition uses a deep navy (
#1A1A2E) for a cool, calming experience - Dark Edition uses a pure black (
#141414) for maximum contrast and OLED screens - Colors are vibrant but never harsh—reds are replaced with warm oranges and pinks
- Each token type has a distinct, recognizable color
