Hello eveyrone! I have rencently moved from linux to MacOS thanks to @gperales, he convinced me.. , and because the colors are completely different I had to look for a VS Code theme, and it was a bit difficult because a lot of them are too dimmed or too dark. So I decided to reate my own theme. The background is not too dark, not too dimmed and the syntax is not neon... You can get it in the landing page or in Microsoft market place. - https://serendipitytheme.com https://marketplace.visualstudio... Available options: Code editors - Dark - Dark italic - Dark low contrast - Light - Light italic - Light Low contrast Terminals - iTerms2 Dark - iTerms2 Light - MacOS terminal Dark Miscellaneous - Slack Dark - Slack Light - Firefox Dark - Firefox Light More comimg up. Hope you guys enjoy it and feel free to ask me something here or on twitter. - https://twitter.com/Mike_Andreuzza

Hey @michael_andreuzza , nice improve you added white mode as well, we have some guys that use that as well. I'm happy to see this is getting updates. I'm using the Serendipity theme on a daily basis for the past 6 months, on a Mac machine, but with the last update the highlighting words are barely visible and often I'm changing the theme when I'm doing some intensive work. So my ask is, can we get back the old theme as an unmaintained theme "legacy" let's say because I would love to use that further.

Ah, very good! I hope you can add higher contrast mode for the dark theme though 😄

@visualnaut I can look into that. Thank you
Michael Flores
I love the colors. Is there a way to get it to use more italics a la the Night Owl theme? I just love the italics in Dank Mono and want to see more of them :)

@mike_flores23 Cheers Michael. Yeah, you can always alter the looks on the settings.json
Michael Flores
@michael_andreuzza I'm coming back to VS Code after a year+ on Nova so I'm not familiar with the setting I should use, wondering what setting in settings.json would cause the rendering of italics for more of the code? I don't see an option that seems like what I'm looking for but I'm sure I just missed it.

Csaba Kissi
Congrats Mike! This looks really nice. And I like that you decided to build both dark + light versions.
Michael Andreuzza
Maker
Thank you @csaba_kissi, as you know I was dark mode ultra before, but lately I have been using more light than dark. I start it appreciating a good light theme,...and websites.

What is the font in the website in code example
Michael Andreuzza
Maker
do you mean in the landing page? @dvne_ I am using IBM Plex Mono for the code and you can get it on google fonts. Then I am using IBM Plex Sans on the site too.
Linus Aarnio
The dark version of this is my main theme in VS code right now, it looks fantastic!
Michael Andreuzza
Maker
Really glad you likeit @linus_aarnio! fun fact: I use light as default!
Linus Aarnio
@michael_andreuzza I would not have guessed that! Why, is it functional or do you like the look better?
Michael Andreuzza
Maker
@linus_aarnio oh, well now I have been working mostly outside.

Mesmerising, good choice on the color options, pale palette it's a thing this year. For me works very well with Fira Code font and font ligatures. It's a very good replacement for my GitHub Dark theme I had for several months now. Keep going with the good work! 🚀
Michael Andreuzza
Maker
yea, is true wkth Fira Code works great too @iulian_albu. I have been using the GH Dimmed but it became weird on retina. The pale colors helps because they are not neon, when using neon, eyes are suffering too...and Darkmode becomes pointless. Thank you for the kind words!

Congratulations. Nice product.

@upen946 thank you so much!

Ah, it looks awesome! But I'm a webstorm user. Do you have any plans on porting it to idea IDE?
Michael Andreuzza

Thamk you, I can have a look into it @eden_lane!
Nathan Fallet
Just installed it on both iMac and MacBook, and it’s just beautiful and comfortable. I was previously using the default dark+ theme with the Material Icon Theme (I keep this Icon theme for now except if I find a better one)
Michael Andreuzza

@nathanfallet Cheers Nathan. I am using a different icon theme, I can comebackn tell you soon as I get back home. Thank for trying it, really appreciate!
