Dominvm — VS Code Theme

A collection of 25 carefully crafted color themes for Visual Studio Code across 11 color families — designed for legibility, reduced eye strain, and a luxurious aesthetic.

Dominvm themes transform your editor into a refined workspace where every color serves a purpose — from reducing fatigue during marathon coding sessions to creating clear visual hierarchy between UI and content.

Design Philosophy

🎨 Crafted, Not Generated

Every theme in the Dominvm collection follows a deliberate design system:

• No Pure White / No Pure Black — All backgrounds use warm or cool-tinted hues to eliminate glare and haloing. Your eyes will thank you after those 8-hour sessions.
• WCAG AA Compliant — All syntax tokens meet or exceed a 4.5:1 contrast ratio for normal text, ensuring readability without squinting.
• Visual Hierarchy — UI chrome (sidebar, status bar, tabs) uses a distinct tonal range from editor content, so your code always stands out from the frame.
• Semantic Coloring — Keywords, strings, functions, classes, variables, and constants each have a unique, distinguishable hue. You'll never confuse a type for a function again.

🌙 Three Variants Per Family

Each color family offers up to three carefully tuned variants:

Variant	Best For	Background Style
Light	Daytime, bright environments	Warm-tinted off-whites
Dark	Low-light, nighttime coding	Deep, warm-tinted darks
Dark Solarized	Extended sessions, reduced fatigue	Lifted darks with color-tinted mid-tones
