I'm a big fan of dark themes, right now I'm using Tokyo Night and it's awesome!

Last year I made a monotone theme. Sometimes the colorful ones were kind of taking my attention.

Yes there definitely is some needed balance with a theme, fun but not too distracting and easy on the eyes. Thanks for sharing your theme

I find Eva Theme light to be very suitable for copy-pasting formatted code blocks into documents due to the noticeable background color and good contrast.

I also did one for myself, because, well, it was fun and I hated random changes when I just found a theme I love.

It's really based on the one dark and material dark theme.

It's called The Best Theme
