VS Code Theme of the Week
|
Galewind — This set of four themes uses colors from the Tailwind CSS documentation. I haven't spent much time in the Tailwind docs myself, but these dark themes are quite nice.
The theme shown above is "Galewind Black Rose", which uses a very dark, almost black background. There's also Galewind Dark Rose (not as dark background) along with Galewind Black Sky (with blue highlights) and Galewind Dark Sky (again, same as Black Sky, but not as dark).
