Choosing a variant

Choose for your environment#

For a dark workspace, compare Noctis, Sereno, Obscuro, Azureus, Bordo, Uva, Viola, Minimus, and Aurora. For light surfaces, choose Lux, Hibernus, or Lilac. Aurora adds low-glare blue-teal surfaces and cyan accents.

Compare consistently#

1. Open a representative source file with comments, strings, types, and diagnostics.
2. Apply a variant and inspect the editor, Project tree, completion popup, and diff viewer.
3. Try another variant without changing font or display brightness between comparisons.
4. Keep the one that preserves clear comments, selections, errors, and focused controls for your working environment.

If a name is missing, check your installed plugin version against the release noted below. Manual editor-scheme overrides can make two different UI themes appear identical in the code pane.
