Why I Built a VS Code Theme That Feels Like a Warm Blanket
I’ll be real: I didn’t set out to make yet another dark theme. I just wanted to stop rubbing my eyes like a sleepy toddler by 10 PM. Here’s the story: After burning out my retinas with neon-colored brackets one too many times, I started experimenting with darker, warmer tones. The goal? A theme that felt like sipping herbal tea — soothing, not stimulating. The “Aha!” Moment: I showed an early version to a friend who said, “Wait… why does this feel easier to read?” Turns out, the subtle teal-and-charcoal palette (#101E21 and #17363D) reduced visual noise without sacrificing clarity. What I Learned: Good themes aren’t about looking “cool” — they’re about disappearing so you can focus. Tiny details matter (like making JSON keys just slightly lighter than the background). Try it yourself: Ocean Mist And if you hate it? Tell me why! I’m just a dev with a color picker, not a designer.
