Equinox

Paired dark and light themes for Visual Studio Code and Cursor.

Equinox is built for long coding sessions: clear hierarchy, calm workbench chrome, and syntax that stays readable without shouting. Dark and Light share the same design language — so switching modes feels intentional, not like installing two unrelated themes.

Themes

Equinox Dark

Deep smoked-glass surfaces with gold actions and cool structural accents. Designed for focus after dark — luminous where it matters, quiet everywhere else.

Equinox Light

Warm parchment canvas with vivid, high-chroma accents. Comfortable daylight contrast, coral constants, and warm git cues that stay easy to scan.

Features

• Two cohesive variants — Dark and Light designed as a pair, not afterthoughts
• Temperature-coded syntax — warm for actions, cool for structure, natural tones for data
• Semantic highlighting — richer color for types, members, and language constructs when enabled
• Polished workbench — editor, sidebar, tabs, terminal, and git decorations tuned together
• Bracket pair colorization — ready for VS Code’s built-in bracket guides
• Comfort-first contrast — chroma and hue carry hierarchy so the UI stays calm for hours
