High Contrast & Light themes

[samrap]

Based on reviews on the marketplace, I plan on making the current Outrun theme a high contrast version, making the default a "less intense" (lower contrast) version of what it currently is. I suppose it only makes sense to create a light version as well. Here's what that will look like:

• Outrun Night: A less intense version of current Outrun theme
• Outrun Night (High Contrast): Current version of the theme
• Outrun Day: Outrun Theme on a light background with some adjustments

717504c replaces the Outrun theme with two new themes: Outrun Night and Outrun Electric.

Outrun Night is a less intense version of the current Outrun theme. This is achieved with more neutral, lighter background and editor colors. The color scheme remains the same, for now.

Outrun Electric is the original Outrun theme.

Outrun Day will be coming shortly, but I may release Night and Electric before Day is ready. Turns out it's kinda difficult to put synthwave colors on a light background (ya think?).

On all themes, the theme colors themselves have been completely re-written from scratch. I've created a standard color palette that brings the number of different colors and shades used to a more manageable amount. Since everything has been re-written, the theme may be missing some features. Originally I had added in lots of configurations that I did not know what they did. Those have been removed for now, and I will be adding in more configurations as I come across them in my daily use.

@samrap Good work. Minor issue: It seems that the snippets/intellisense panel is now unthemed:

Found a few more examples:

Thanks for the screenshots, will get an update pushed up in the next couple of hours.

@samrap Thanks :) The new themes will take a bit of getting used to. Since I'm seeing a lot more orange dominating my files now. I'm guessing it has something to do with all methods now being orange.

Yea I’m probably going to roll that back. It’s a bummer because the intention is to have all function and method _declarations_ in orange, while function and method _calls_ remain white. Unfortunately, scope subtraction is not implemented in VS Code so I can’t get that granular. There’s an open issue I’ll link to in a bit but I’m replying via email right now. In the meantime, you can switch to Outrun Night which has no orange. Again, I’m probably gonna roll it back in Electric for now as well :/

Issues mentioned have been updated in 0.2.1 (See #8). Thanks for your patience and help making this theme better @Vorror ! Hopefully it will be flawless in the next month or two :)

Hi @samrap, thanks for commenting on this post! As soon as the light version is out I'll add this theme to the post. Looking forward to it!
