VSCode Beautiful UI - Color Themes

A collection of 32 VSCode themes inspired from the awesome Sublime DA CS.

I am not at all the original author of the color scheme. This project was born out of a necessity. I was a user of Sublime Text and Sublime DA UI for a long time.

Due to many reasons (mainly VSCode's intellisense and JS friendliness) I had to switch to VSCode and the only thing I felt missing was the awesome UI engine made by Ihor Oleksandrov and compatible themes.

So this is my attempt to fill the gap. Personally I've been using Tomorrow Night theme for a long time and I have put effort to port as many themes as possible.

I am not original author of any of the color schemes.

Syntax highlighting differs from the DA UI and DA CS, but I have managed to keep as much as possible. Also in some cases I have increased the darkness of colors for light themes.

If you like any color theme, go and ❤️ the original authors.
