Request: Light theme tweaks
I love the Dark mode of Night Owl and it's my primary theme!
In certain lighting conditions I've been looking for a Light theme, and Night Owl Light (No Italics)
is pretty close.
Here are some things I've been tweaking for what it's worth.
I can do a PR for some of this if you're interested.
- Active tab is hard to distinguish
Adjusted to #fefefe
- Selected text in "Find in Files" is hard to read
Adjusted to #c2c7c78f
Syntax highlighting contrast ratios aren't as high as Dark mode
Dark = 7.62 https://contrast-ratio.com/#%23c792ea-on-%23011627
Light = 4.85 https://contrast-ratio.com/#%23994cc3-on-%23fbfbfb
To increase the ratio I changed all of the #994cc3
TextMate rules to #7c11b7
which has a 7.7 ratio
https://contrast-ratio.com/#%237c11b7-on-%23fbfbfb
And the #c789d6
for JSON Property values (string)
to #b63dd4
.
Haven't gone any further yet, because I'm not great at picking colors.
Thanks for bringing this theme into the world!
@cdeutsch I was having the same problem with the active tab contrast. Your fix is great! Thanks!
I've found this combination, when combined with @cdeutsch's active tab color, gives a really nice tab appearance:
"[Night Owl Light]": {
"tab.activeBackground": "#fefefe",
"tab.activeBorder": "#994cc3"
}
