Open **Extensions** sidebar panel in VS Code or go to **View → Extensions**\n2. Search for **Nightcall**\n3. Click **Install** to install it\n4. Then go to **Code → Preferences → Color Theme → Nightcall**\n5. **Optional**: Use the recommended settings below for best experience\n\n## No Italics\n\nIf you don't like italics (how dare you), select **Nightcall (No Italics)** as the theme.\n![Nightcall No Italics Theme](https://github.com/bpat86/nightcall-vscode-theme/raw/main/js_no-italics.png?id=04230417 \"Nightcall No Italics Theme\")\n\n## Separate the Editor from the Sidebar\n\nTaking a page from [Night Owl's](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=sdras.night-owl) book, er, theme, if you'd prefer more constrast between the editor and sidebar, paste this into your user settings. These are my color recommendations:\n\n```json\n\"workbench.colorCustomizations\": {\n  \"[Nightcall]\": {\n    \"contrastBorder\": \"#181D36\",\n    \"activityBar.background\": \"#0B0E1A\",\n    \"activityBar.border\": \"#181D36\",\n    \"sideBar.background\": \"#0F1221\",\n    \"sideBar.border\": \"#181D36\",\n    \"list.inactiveSelectionBackground\": \"#0F1221\",\n    \"tree.indentGuidesStroke\": \"#181D36\",\n    \"sideBarSectionHeader.background\": \"#0F1221\"\n  },\n  \"[Nightcall (No Italics)]\": {\n    \"contrastBorder\": \"#181D36\",\n    \"activityBar.background\": \"#0B0E1A\",\n    \"activityBar.border\": \"#181D36\",\n    \"sideBar.background\": \"#0F1221\",\n    \"sideBar.border\": \"#181D36\",\n    \"list.inactiveSelectionBackground\": \"#0F1221\",\n    \"tree.indentGuidesStroke\": \"#181D36\",\n    \"sideBarSectionHeader.background\": \"#0F1221\"\n  }\n}\n```\n\n## Recommended Settings\n\nThe font I'm using in the preview images is `Dank Mono` and is available [here for purchase](https://dank.sh/). For those not interested in buying a fancy font with cool italics, `Fira Code` also looks pretty good and can be downloaded [here for free](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode).\n\n```json\n\"editor.fontFamily\": \"Dank Mono\",\n\"editor.fontLigatures\": true,\n\"editor.letterSpacing\": 0.3,\n```\n\n## Recommended Plugin Settings\n\nThese are the settings I'm using:\n\n### [Indent-Rainbow](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=oderwat.indent-rainbow \"Indent-Rainbow\")\n\n```json\n\"indentRainbow.colors\": [\n  \"rgba(126, 144, 255, 0.05)\",\n  \"rgba(187, 154, 247, 0.05)\",\n  \"rgba(250, 166, 216, 0.05)\",\n  \"rgba(255, 126, 199, 0.05)\",\n  \"rgba(218, 188, 254, 0.05)\",\n],\n```\n\n### [Bracket Pair Colorizer 2](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=CoenraadS.bracket-pair-colorizer-2 \"Bracket Pair Colorizer 2\")\n\n```json\n\"bracket-pair-colorizer-2.forceIterationColorCycle\": true,\n\"bracket-pair-colorizer-2.colors\": [\n  \"#FF7EC7\",\n  \"#FAA6D8\",\n  \"#BB9AF7\",\n  \"#7E90FF\",\n],\n```\n\n### [Footsteps](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Wattenberger.footsteps \"Footsteps\")\n\n```json\n\"footsteps.highlightColor\": \"rgb(248, 167, 212)\",\n\"footsteps.highlightColorMaxOpacity\": 0.05,\n```\n\n### [Import Cost](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=wix.vscode-import-cost \"Import Cost\")\n\n```json\n\"importCost.smallPackageColor\": \"#98FACA\",\n\"importCost.mediumPackageColor\": \"#98FACA\",\n\"importCost.largePackageColor\": \"#F87171\",\n```\n\n## Misc\n\nThis is my first theme and there are many languages and parts of VS Code I don't use often (or at all), so needless to say I might've missed a few things 😅. Feel free to file an issue if something doesn't appear intentional, or very \"Nightcall-sy\" if you will.\n\nAccessibility considerations and prolific use of italics inspired by Sarah Drasner's [Night Owl](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=sdras.night-owl) theme.\n\n**TODO**: Eventually add a more _muted_ color theme option.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbpat86%2Fnightcall-vscode-theme","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fbpat86%2Fnightcall-vscode-theme","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbpat86%2Fnightcall-vscode-theme/lists"}
