Light theme variation?

Open medeman opened this issue 6 years ago • 10 comments

I tried this theme out and I think it's great. However, I personally can't look at dark interfaces for too long without it causing eyestrain.

Is it possible/on your roadmap to add a light theme variation (light gray/white/solarized yellow-ish background)? That'd be awesome!

For me I love the dark theme but when I'm coding outside in the sun some of the colours are hard to make out. If I could flip the background to white I think it would be more legible. It wouldn't be as attractive but sometimes you have to make sacrifices for your craft.

Edit: after using the existing theme in various conditions I'm no longer sure I would actually want a light version. The fact that the colours are bright and nicely balanced but with enough contrast to make them visible in most any setting I've been in makes me like the theme the way it is. If I end up in bright enough glare that only black on white is visible then I have bigger problems (like my terminal being unreadable). I had tried a lot of open source themes in the past both light and dark. The brght ones were all washed out and as unreadable in bright light as dark. So I retract my vote for a light theme. It's beautiful just the way it is.

Hard for me to rationalize paying for a license when there is no light variation. Currently sitting outside and can't use any of the Monokai Pro schemes, which is unfortunate. Would definitely pay if light version was available.

Thanks for great dark version though! :)

Throwing my vote in for a light theme as well. There are definitely times where I like dark, and definitely times where I like light.

Light theme is the new black. 😎 This summer, I had a lot of issues with my eyes, and I read about the topic. Seems that light themes are better for the sight unless your are coding in the dark.

Someone should make light theme variants but what to call it?

Is there any consideration, do we have updates ?

Sublime Text 4 (just released) has light_color_scheme and dark_color_scheme, and light_theme and dark_theme preferences. It would be great if light variants of the UI and highlighting were available.
