Neon code on pure black.
SG Neo is a high-contrast dark theme for VS Code and Notepad++. Bright tokens, a true black background, and nothing that tires your eyes at 2 a.m.
Live on the VS Code Marketplace and Open VSX
Four colors, one rule: bright on black.
Every token uses a vivid color on a #0A0A0A background so code stays readable at a glance. Click a color to copy its hex.
Strings use gold (#FFD700) and comments stay a quiet grey.
