This theme brings crazy 80's animations into your VS Code 🚀🎉
This is a fork of @thecodemonkey's synthwave-x-fluoromachine-epic-animations, which is a fork of synthwave-x-fluoromachine, which is also fork of @robbowen's Synthwave '84 theme, merged with @fullerenedream's Fluoromachine theme and @74th's Monokai Charcoal high contrast purple theme for VSCode.

The job of a software developer is hard and often too serious. You always have to be productive and effective. But sometimes you need to take the time to just be a nerd 🤓 or to just have fun again. This theme is exactly for such times! Such nerdy times need to be celebrated accordingly 🎉🦄
Unfortunately, the current installation is a bit complicated. A hassle-free installation is already in development. Until then, the following steps must be performed to install the theme:
- Install this theme
- Install Custom CSS and JS Loader VS Code extension
- Link the CSS file from this extension in your VS Code settings.json:
On Mac it might look something like the snippet below:
{
"vscode_custom_css.imports": [
"file:///Users/{your username}/.vscode/extensions/coltwillcox.synthwave-x-fluoromachine-contrast-2.0.1/logo.css",
"file:///Users/{your username}/.vscode/extensions/coltwillcox.synthwave-x-fluoromachine-contrast-2.0.1/synthwave.css"
]
}
Windows might resemble:
{
"vscode_custom_css.imports": [
"file:///C:/Users/{your username}/.vscode/extensions/coltwillcox.synthwave-x-fluoromachine-contrast-2.0.1/logo.css",
"file:///C:/Users/{your username}/.vscode/extensions/coltwillcox.synthwave-x-fluoromachine-contrast-2.0.1/synthwave.css"
]
}
Low spec machines (or just to disable animations):
Instead of "synthwave.css" use "synthwave-lowspec.css"
logo.css
is optional and changes VS Code logo.- From the command panel, select
Reload Custom CSS and JS
. You'll need to run this command every time vscode updates.
The font being used in the screenshot above is Victor Mono.
Icon theme is Sweet vscode Icons.
XFCE/GTK theme is Sweet.
