Introducing Nishuuu Themes – A Minimal, Eye-Friendly VS Code Theme You’ll Love

#ui #showdev #vscode #tooling

Here’s a ready-to-publish blog draft for your Nishuuu Themes that works well on Dev.to or Hashnode.
I’ve kept it conversational, developer-friendly, and SEO-friendly.

🌈 Introducing Nishuuu Themes – A Minimal, Eye-Friendly VS Code Theme You’ll Love

Hey developers 👋,
I’m excited to introduce something I’ve been hacking on for a while — Nishuuu Themes, a carefully-crafted Visual Studio Code theme pack designed to make your coding experience calmer, more readable, and just a bit more you.

✨ Why I Built Nishuuu Themes

Like many of you, I spend hours every day staring at code. Over time, I tried dozens of popular themes, but most of them fell into one of these traps:

Too high-contrast and harsh on the eyes for long coding sessions.
Too low-contrast, making it hard to read syntax at a glance.
Colors that looked great for one language but clashed horribly in another.
Lack of personality — many felt like clones of each other.

So I decided to design my own theme that strikes the right balance between style, readability, and comfort. After several iterations of tweaking color palettes, testing in different lighting conditions, and getting feedback from friends, Nishuuu Themes was born.

🎨 Features at a Glance

🌓 Dark & Light Variants — choose the vibe that suits your mood or environment.
🔍 Optimized Contrast — colors carefully picked for better readability without eye strain.
🌐 Great Language Coverage — looks consistent across JS/TS, Python, HTML, CSS, Markdown, JSON, and more.
🎯 Focus-First Design — syntax highlighting that guides your eyes to what matters in the code.
🖤 Minimal & Clean Look — modern aesthetic without flashy distractions.
♿ Accessible Color Choices — improved contrast for color-blind-friendly readability.

⚡ The goal is simple: a theme that disappears into the background so you can focus entirely on your code.

🖼️ A Peek at the Theme

Here’s a quick screenshot of Nishuuu Dark in action:

👉 Install directly from the Marketplace

🔧 Pro Tips

Pair Nishuuu Dark with a dimmed editor background for late-night sessions.
Use Nishuuu Light if you work in bright offices or during daytime coding marathons.
Adjust your editor’s font (I like JetBrains Mono or Fira Code) for the best look.

💡 Behind the Colors

I built the palette with three principles in mind:

Contrast matters – text vs. background, especially for comments and keywords.
Consistency across languages – no more jarring color jumps between files.
Less distraction, more focus – highlight syntax meaningfully, not just color for color’s sake.

I’ll share more about the design process and color-contrast calculations in a future post.
