PKs Themes

December 3, 2025 ยท View on GitHub

This extension includes PKs theme for Visual Studio Code.

This was the old theme I was tough to code with at college in 2000. It's a high contrast theme primarily using reds with a mix of blues. I feel most would look in horror at this theme, but it's how my brain thinks.
