Psychological Monochrome.
A dual-environment theme engineered for flow. Drift into the Eclipse or wake up to Bliss.
I built AetherAmethyst because I was tired of "random" syntax highlighting. Most themes treat code like a bag of Skittles—red strings, green functions, yellow keywords. It creates visual noise that forces your brain to constantly context-switch.
I believe in Cognitive Color Mapping. By restricting the entire palette to a specific slice of the spectrum (Violet/Pink/Cyan), I reduce eye strain and create a subconscious "pattern matching" effect.
- Logic is cool. (Blue-Violets represent structure).
- Action is hot. (Neon Pinks represent functions that do things).
- Data is soft. (Rose/Lilac represents strings and values).
When you use this theme, you aren't just looking at colors; you are feeling the flow of the code.
I designed two distinct variants. They aren't just "inverted" versions of each other; they are chemically different environments meant to evoke specific mental states.
For the night owl.
I didn't want a "black" screen. Pure black smears on OLEDs and feels claustrophobic. Instead, Eclipse uses a deep, desaturated Indigo (#13111B). It feels like looking into deep water or the night sky.
- ** The Vibe:** Bioluminescence in the deep ocean.
- ** The Palette:** High-contrast neon pastels that "glow" against the void.
For the morning clarity.
Light themes are usually too harsh (pure white) or too yellow (sepia). Bliss is different. It mimics the color of a fresh sheet of lavender-tinted paper (#FDF7FF) in bright sunlight.
- ** The Vibe:** A royal manuscript or a crisp spring morning.
- ** The Palette:** Deep, saturated Jewel Tones (Amethyst, Plum, Royal Violet) to ensure text is sharp and readable without hurting your eyes.
I cannot build this universe alone. This is where you come in.
I have designed the Design System and the Palette, but I need you to bring it to your favorite tools. Whether you use VS Code, Emacs, Terminal, or Slack—if you port it, I will list you here as the official Maintainer for that platform.
