A box of colorful macarons meets the modern indie developer workspace.

A colorful pastel VS Code theme collection inspired by macarons — playful, modern, and built for joyful, long coding sessions. Not a pink-only theme: every macaron color gets its moment. Includes both Light and Dark themes that share one design system.

Themes

Theme	UI	Mood
Macaron Dream Light	Light	A bright, colorful pastel workspace filled with different macaron colors — balanced, not pink-dominant.
Macaron Dream Dark	Dark	A midnight room with glowing pastel macarons — no pure black, calming and readable.

Both themes share one design system, so switching feels like flipping between day and night of the same macaron box.
