Most themes, especially dark ones, have very high-contrast which makes them tiring for the eyes. Squirrelsong themes are low-contrast but still provide enough color and style variety to distinguish various elements of the code and avoid long chains of code printed in the same style.
Hey! I’m excited to share the new version of my color scheme — Squirrelsong.
I don’t like distractions, and most themes are too bright for me, especially the current trend in UI design (the new “minimalistic” JetBrains UI, for example). That’s why I created the first version of Squirrelsong seven years ago and have been using it since then mostly unchanged. It was pretty but quite random.
In the past two months, I’ve rebuilt it almost from scratch, made it more consistent across different apps and programming languages, and added code themes for many more apps, as well as UI themes.
Big applause for sticking to your vision for seven years and then refining it! 🙌 I get what you mean about the bright themes being a tad distracting. Quick Q: Have you considered or maybe even developed a version that's tailored for video editing software UIs? That would be such a neat addition for us video creators.
@heleana thank you very much! I don't have much experience with video editing software, so not really sure how this theme could be used / adapted there.
