A sleek, refined dark theme for deep focus.
Pulsar is inspired by the default Cursor IDE aesthetic — near-black backgrounds, soft pastel accents, and a carefully balanced syntax palette. Every color was tuned for legibility and visual comfort, so your eyes stay relaxed even after hours of coding.
✨ Highlights
- Minimal & distraction-free — deep
#141414/#181818backgrounds with subtle, low-contrast UI borders that let your code take center stage - Soft pastel syntax palette — mint keywords, peach types, lavender properties, pink strings, and golden functions, all easy on the eyes
- Semantic highlighting support — fine-tuned token colors for TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, C/C++, Rust, PHP, Go, Java, Markdown, and more
- Consistent everywhere — terminal ANSI colors, diff views, merge conflicts, and Git decorations all follow the same palette
