A fork of Oceanic Next (dimmed bg) with a refined dark UI.

Oceanic Next Dimmed+

Syntax highlighting is the original Oceanic Next TextMate scheme, untouched. Everything that changed is the workbench chrome:

  • softer editor and tab-strip background (#27292b)
  • unified sidebar / section headers (#29292a)
  • calmer activity bar, title bar and status bar (#2d2d2e)
  • widget and scrollbar shadows removed
  • lower-contrast indent guides

Install

Search for Oceanic Next Dimmed+ in the Extensions view, or:

code --install-extension alekseydemchenko.oceanic-next-dimmed-plus

Then pick it in Ctrl+K Ctrl+T.

Customizing further

Tweak colors live via workbench.colorCustomizations scoped to this theme, so other themes stay untouched:

"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
  "[Oceanic Next Dimmed+]": {
    "sideBar.background": "#29292a"
  }
}

When you are happy with the result, move the values into themes/oceanic-next-dimmed-plus-color-theme.json, bump the version and publish.
