Tune the entire workbench, not just syntax.

Themes, file icons, product icons, comfort controls, profiles, Guard, and terminal export ship under the same durable extension identity.

Captured from isolated VS Code 1.131 with packaged Syntalume 0.10.0.

01 / COMPLETE EXPERIENCE

The whole editor moves together.

Most themes stop at syntax. One Syntalume command aligns color, files, workbench controls, terminal colors, and comfort settings while keeping every change explicit and reversible.

02 / CALIBRATED ATMOSPHERES

Nine environments. One familiar grammar.

Move from daylight to true OLED, high contrast to reduced red/green reliance, without relearning the meaning of your code.

03 / LOCAL-FIRST TOOLS

Power when you ask for it. Silence when you do not.

Themes and icons stay declarative. A small runtime loads lazily after startup, and deeper tools work only when enabled or explicitly opened.

SYNTALUME TUNE 2

Shape comfort, syntax, and surfaces live.

Adjust perceptual color, typography emphasis, workbench depth, borders, brackets, and density while Syntalume protects release readability floors.

ENVIRONMENT GUARD

The workbench tells you when it matters.

One restrained Syntalume status entry turns unmistakable only for actionable local Kubernetes, Terraform, or git signals. Repository rules and alerts remain explicit.

Taste, backed by measurement.

Every release is checked for readable foregrounds, status-channel separation, stable visual baselines, package integrity, extension surfaces, and bounded runtime behavior.

WHAT COMES NEXT Evidence before a paid release.

No paid launch date or price is set. Real use and candid feedback will guide whether a paid edition is justified.

QUESTIONS

Clear answers before you install.

Does installing Syntalume change my setup?

No. Themes and icons are available immediately, while complete profiles and optional tools apply only after an explicit command and can be restored.

Does Syntalume connect to a server?

No telemetry or product analytics are included. Optional environment tools read only the local workspace signals described in the documentation.

Will the theme stay fast?

The color themes, file icons, and product icons remain declarative. A small runtime activates lazily after startup, and release gates enforce desktop/browser bundle, activation, and memory ceilings.

Is Syntalume available outside the VS Code Marketplace?

Yes. The same extension identity is public on Open VSX, and the standalone Syntalume Theme is public and approved on JetBrains Marketplace. Runtime features for JetBrains stay in a separate optional Companion.

What happens when the beta ends?

No paid launch date or price is set. The current beta remains fully unlocked. Future plans will be announced before anything changes and will be informed by actual use and candid feedback.

Which terminals are supported?

Generated ports are available for iTerm2, Windows Terminal, Alacritty, WezTerm, Ghostty, and Warp.
