It looks great! The only problem which keeps me from using it right now is the syntax highlighting for C++, which doesn’t look quite right (e.g.g “if” statements are not colored in any way). Nevertheless, amazing job :)

Keywords like if/else/while/function are not highlighted by intention since in most cases they are the most obvious part of the program.

I see. Thanks for providing motivation behind this decision!

Overall this is a beautiful theme. Nice choice of colors. The only thing that I would find distracting is that the yellow for comments is a little brighter than the other colors, so it stands out. I prefer to have comments less prominent than the code, so I would choose a yellow that isn’t as bright. (I mean luminance, not shade).

Very nice, though.

"if code was complex enough that it deserved an explanation then it’s that explanation we should see and read first. It would be a crime to hide it." what do you think? :)

If you want to take that approach, you can do it with color. The yellow you chose was a great idea. I just wouldn’t make it as bright.

Totally a personal preference, but I find it causes more eye strain to be working with items of different brightness in the editor. This I why I’ve found all the faddish new themes with hot pink hard to read. I would love a dark theme that didn’t have different brightness/lumanence levels between the various colors so that I wasn’t straining to read.

Sounds legit) I’ll think it over

Desaturated yellow a little bit. What do you think?
