About Noctis
Noctis is a collection of light & dark themes with a well balanced blend of warm and cold medium contrast colors.
The theme is designed to:
• be easy on the eyes thus reducing the eye strain • give semantic meaning to theme's colors
Noctis comes in 11 versions, 8 are dark and 3 are light.
• _Noctis_, _Noctis Sereno_ & _Noctis Obscuro_ background is a very saturated very dark cold bluish cyan • _Noctis Azureus'_ background is a very saturated very dark cold azure • _Noctis Bordo's_ background is a very unsaturated very dark warm rose • _Noctis Uva's_ background is a unsaturated dark cold blue. For those with more spartan taste • _Noctis Minimus'_ background offers a version of the _Azureus_ palette with much lower saturation. (Thank you Draevin for your contribution) • _Noctis Viola's_ background is a saturated very dark cold violet • _Noctis Lux'_ background is a very saturated very light warm orange • _Noctis Hibernus'_ background is a very unsaturated very light cold bluish cyan • _Noctis Lilac's_ background is a very unsaturated very light cold blue
## The font used in screenshots is called Cartograph CF

How to contribute
Beginning with v7.21.0 the theme building process has been simplified. I started off with the idea used in Lucy theme and came up with this theme generator powered by Node.js. This will allow me or any contributor to easily add/suggest new theme variants or changes to the existing ones. In ./src/ folder you will find:
• syntax.mjs → syntax tokens based on the language grammar installed • colors.mjs → the colors used for syntax highlighting • ./src/workbench/ → all eight theme versions containing Workbench/UI colors
After you make a change in any of the above files you need to use npm run build command. The build output folder is ./themes/
Happy hacking!
