# Exo Theme
A muted, eye-friendly dark theme family for VS Code. Five beautiful themes designed for long coding sessions without eye strain.
## Themes
| Theme | Inspiration | Accent |
| ------------------ | --------------- | ------------ |
| **Exo - Dusk** | Evening sunset | Warm amber |
| **Exo - Dawn** | Morning sunrise | Soft coral |
| **Exo - Midnight** | Night sky | Ice blue |
| **Exo - Eclipse** | Solar eclipse | Deep crimson |
| **Exo - Forest** | Woodland | Moss green |
## Features
- **Eye comfort first** - Muted, low-saturation colors that don't cause fatigue
- **Distinct personalities** - Each theme has its own unique color identity
- **Semantic highlighting** - Colors follow coding conventions (green strings, etc.)
- **Full UI coverage** - Editor, terminal, git, debug, minimap, and more
- **Dark backgrounds** - Easy on the eyes for long coding sessions
## Theme Previews
### Dusk (Evening)
Soft purples and warm amber tones, like watching the sunset.
### Dawn (Morning)
Coral and sage green tones, fresh like the first light of day.
### Midnight (Night)
Cool blues and silver tones, calm like moonlit water.
### Eclipse (Solar)
Deep crimson and burnt gold, dramatic like a solar eclipse.
### Forest (Woodland)
Moss greens and earthy amber, grounded like an ancient forest.
