I go with Merko for VSCode.

Ben Halpern • Jul 12 '22

That's a vibe

Hyper IDE of course ^_^

Ben Halpern • Jul 12 '22

Never heard of this — as far as theme goes I like the cream/white, but not sure I could go light mode.

How is Hyper IDE in general? And how much thought do you put into theme?

Thomas Hansen • Jul 12 '22

Here's its dark version. It's our own IDE, integrated into Magic

You can switch modes with the slider in the bottom left corner. The IDE is kind of specialised for Magic and Hyperlambda. Not sure I'd recommend it if you only do C# or JavaScript or something, but it's not really its purpose either, since its purpose is to allow for "some manual editing" of whatever the core generates automatically for you using Low-Code and automation constructs ...

Can't beat synthwave x fluoromachine for VSCode

Is it simple to set up? Isn't it too harsh for the eyes?

Jane Ori • Jul 12 '22

mmmm no, not really. It's got some hoops to jump through... and a lot of the highlighting colors need to be overwritten manually w/o instruction so they're visible at all. Also VSCode will tell you it's corrupt every time it opens a new window...

But it looks great!

Aurélien Delogu • Jul 12 '22 • Edited

Well... So the set up is still the same after the few years I took a look at it. So bad ^^

Aurélien Delogu • Jul 12 '22

But it does look great!

you're not half wrong. its quite 'aggressive' but i find a chop/change between colour schemes is really helpful with motivation (i mean you're staring at this a fair bit)

really looking forward to a good 'forest' kinda theme but havent found one just yet. bring on the green.

Saif Bechan • Jul 13 '22

This is 🔥

desireebyrd • Jul 14 '22

Oh nice! I'm a Sublime girl myself, but this is pretty and the colors make my heart happy. I wonder if there's something similar for Sublime?

Michael Tharrington • Jul 14 '22

Wow! I'm totally getting synthwave vibes from these colors — awesome. 🙌 That's an aptly named editor theme right there.

revoltez • Jul 16 '22

nice but too distracting, i prefer material theme ocean

How nice theme i got! (solarized dark)

Ben Halpern • Jul 12 '22

How do you like the low-ish contrast personally?

fawlid • Jul 12 '22

I tried many themes but for 2 weeks I use my VSCode on this theme! I dont know why I like it 🤷🏼‍♂️

Jahkamso • Jul 14 '22

Please how do you make your code look so neat and organized?
Is there an extension you use?

fawlid • Jul 16 '22

i just write my codes clean, there isnt any extension
in every line i wrote, i put a comment for that and it makes my code more beautiful

Wj • Jul 21 '22

I was considering that too!

Amara Graham • Jul 12 '22

Synthwave + Stardew Valley icons

Kyla • Jul 12 '22

Whaaaaaat, Stardew icons? That's awesome!

amiceli • Jul 13 '22

Awesome, I love that video game ! Thanks for sharing.

Jahkamso • Jul 14 '22

Awesome theme, I use coder coder theme. Please how do you get your code to look so neat and organized?

Aurélien Delogu • Jul 12 '22

I'm working on a synthwave theme derived from the Night Rider VSCode theme. Since it's not maintained anymore and some languages had not a good color/contrast balance, I wanted to give a shot and improve things. Still a work in progress though.
