NOTE: Although Atom has been sunset, I will be maintaining this theme. I plan to publish to [Pulsar](https://pulsar-edit.dev/)'s (a community-driven effort to continue Atom) [package repository](https://web.pulsar-edit.dev/)
# fall-syntax
 [](https://atom.io/themes/fall-syntax) [](https://atom.io/themes/fall-syntax) [](https://atom.io/)
*Fall Syntax* is a syntax theme with 3 design points in mind:
- Reduce [blue light](https://www.verywellhealth.com/blue-light-exposure-3421985)\*
- Make code clear
- Still look good
*Not clinically proven. Coding breaks are still recommended.

I've sought out to build a syntax theme on top of those principals; something that minimizes the blue but still looks good. Why? I knew that [blue light causes eyestrain and headaches](https://www.foreyes.com/blog/10-ways-how-blue-light-can-affect-you), which are a nuisance for the programmer (and the average computer user).
After about a month of color-picking, discussion, and color-tweaking, *Fall Syntax* was here. Every hue, every shade, was **meticulously hand-picked**, tested, and **checked against standards** such as the [WCAG 2.0 contrast ratio criterion](https://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/visual-audio-contrast-contrast.html).
Naturally, the colors are reddish and aesthetic, giving that **post-summer vibe**.
Besides warm colors, *Fall Syntax* features some nice **perks** such as
- Trivial components of code (like comments and bracket pairs) are **faded**
- Consistent color semantics across languages (e.g. you will find definitions of classes or functions as a green keyword followed by a purple name)
- **Increased contrast** on function/class definitions\*
Enjoy!
*support may vary depending on language. Check the FAQ for more info.

This is my first syntax theme 🎉, originally forked from [Atomic-monokai-pro-syntax][1]. Except now, this looks *nothing* like [atomic-monokai-pro-syntax][1].
I hope you like it! ❤️. If you do, **please star this repo and star this theme on Atom**. That way, you can let other people find this theme.
Hey, if you don't like this syntax theme ("it's too reddish!") I *highly recommend* @tterb's [Atomic-monokai-pro-syntax][1] or @jackw01's [summer-night-syntax](https://atom.io/themes/summer-night-syntax). @KomodoKode's personal favorite (how dare he not use Fall Syntax) is Atom's built-in One Dark. [Nord](https://www.nordtheme.com/) is pretty good, too.
## Installation
This theme can be installed from within Atom or via the command:
```sh
$ apm install fall-syntax
```
After installation, you can activated by going to the **Settings > Themes** section and selecting it from the **Syntax Themes** drop-down menu.

## FAQ
Q: **I need this for other editors**
A: Current ports:
- [Fall Syntax for VSCode](https://github.com/ThatXliner/fall-syntax-vscode) (Unfinished)
- [Fall Syntax for Sublime text](https://github.com/imnotril/fall-syntax-sublime-text) (note: this is a 3rd-party contribution)
If you have made a port, please send a pull request updating this list.
Q: **This syntax highlighting is degraded**
A: You're probably having tree-sisters parsing on. While it is a promising technology, it currently seems to degrade syntax highlighting. I recommend you turn it off on Settings > Core. If that's not the case **feel free to complain in the issues or send a pull request!**. I have rewritten the \_base.less by hand so I have probably dropped support for some markup/programming languages.
Q: **This looks like (insert some theme name)**
A: Welp. Great minds think alike!
Q: **How can I contribute?**
A: Either ~~complain about the colors~~ professionally critique the theme in the issues or send a pull request for some different colors/arrangements. Or you can **help me port this theme to other editors** I'll merge it if I like it!
