Description

Adds 7 original developer color schemes from theebest.com's open theme collection - 5 dark and 2 light - as yaml/ sources (the preferred format per AGENTS.md). These are original designs, not ports; each carries a full 16-color ANSI palette tuned for real code, with proper light/dark foreground handling. I checked that none of the seven names collide with existing schemes (exact or fuzzy) before submitting.

Themes

Scheme Mode Background Character
Midnight Arcade Dark #0b1220 Navy cabinet, cyan glass, magenta marquee, amber coin-door
Terminal Green 1999 Dark #03120a Phosphor-green CRT nostalgia
Vaporwave Sunset Dark #180827 Purple / teal / coral synthwave dusk
CRT Amber Dark #1a1005 Warm amber monochrome, retro terminal
Purple Portal Dark #160528 Deep violet with an electric-blue signal
Y2K Chrome Light #f1f5f9 Cool chrome-on-ice, early-2000s UI
Cassette Tape Light #fff7ed Warm paper, analog rust and teal

Verification

  • Source-only: yaml/*.yml + CREDITS.md. No generated format directories touched - CI regenerates the per-terminal outputs and screenshots on merge, per AGENTS.md.
  • Generation: ran python tools/gen.py -s "Midnight Arcade" ... for all seven - they generate cleanly (exit 0).
  • WCAG (python tools/wcag_check.py, 1.75 threshold): all 7 PASS. Foreground and selection contrast land between 15.6:1 and 18.0:1. As is normal, gen.py's adjust_colors_for_wcag nudged only the ANSI 8 (bright black) slot in each theme up to the 1.75 minimum at generation time.

Attribution / agent disclosure

Per AGENTS.md: the palettes are human-designed at theebest.com; these YAML source files and the verification above were prepared with AI assistance (Claude) via theebest.com's theme-export tooling. The full collection and generator live at TriumphInteractive/theebest-themes.

New Theme

Submitted in YAML format per repository guidelines, with display names used as filenames (spaces, no slugification). Per-terminal ports and screenshots are left for the auto-generate workflow.

Adds Midnight Arcade, Terminal Green 1999, Vaporwave Sunset, CRT Amber,
Purple Portal, Y2K Chrome, and Cassette Tape from theebest.com's open
developer theme collection, with a CREDITS.md entry.

Disclosure: these YAML source files were generated by the theebest.com
theme tooling with AI assistance (per AGENTS.md).
