Noctis is a collection of light & dark themes with a well balanced blend of warm and cold medium contrast colors.

The theme is designed to:

• be easy on the eyes thus reducing the eye strain
• give semantic meaning to theme's colors

Noctis comes in 11 versions, 8 are dark and 3 are light.

• Noctis, Noctis Sereno & Noctis Obscuro background is a very saturated very dark cold bluish cyan
• Noctis Azureus' background is a very saturated very dark cold azure
• Noctis Bordo's background is a very unsaturated very dark warm rose
• Noctis Uva's background is a unsaturated dark cold blue. For those with more spartan taste
• Noctis Minimus' background offers a version of the Azureus palette with much lower saturation. (Thank you Draevin for your contribution)
• Noctis Viola's background is a saturated very dark cold violet
• Noctis Lux' background is a very saturated very light warm orange
• Noctis Hibernus' background is a very unsaturated very light cold bluish cyan
• Noctis Lilac's background is a very unsaturated very light cold blue

How to contribute

Beginning with v7.21.0 the theme building process has been simplified. I started off with the idea used in Lucy theme and came up with this theme generator powered by Node.js. This will allow me or any contributor to easily add/suggest new theme variants or changes to the existing ones. In ./src/ folder you will find:

• syntax.mjs → syntax tokens based on the language grammar installed
• colors.mjs → the colors used for syntax highlighting
• ./src/workbench/ → all eight theme versions containing Workbench/UI colors

After you make a change in any of the above files you need to use npm run build command. The build output folder is ./themes/

Happy hacking!
