Afterglow is a dark, flat UI theme with matching color schemes aimed at making code and interface chrome feel cohesive and low-glare. It ships with carefully tuned palettes for syntax highlighting so keywords, literals, punctuation, and markup remain distinct without harsh contrast. The theme adjusts editor chrome—tabs, sidebars, status bars, and panels—so they visually recede and put focus on the buffer. Multiple accent variants and sidebar icon options let you align the look with your project or OS styling. Installation is straightforward through popular package managers, and the settings are simple to tweak for font weight, caret style, and selection emphasis. By balancing saturation and contrast, Afterglow reduces eye fatigue during long sessions while preserving quick visual parsing of complex files.
