Dark+ Modern Theme for Notepad++
A fresh, modern dark theme for Notepad++, crafted from scratch using the exact color palette of recent versions of VSCode (specifically Dark+ and Dark Modern).
(Note: Due to differences in parser lexers, the highlighting is not a 1:1 replica of VS Code. Instead, it aims for consistency within the palette, prioritizing readability over absolute duplication.)
This project is a rebranding and complete overhaul of the previously hellon8/VS2019-Dark-Npp theme. We decided to keep it in this repository so existing users can easily discover and benefit from the new aesthetics!
Prefer the old VS2019-style theme? It’s still available on the master branch.
Note: This theme was originally inspired by and evolved from the works of cydh’s VS2015-Dark-Npp and SeanCline’s Npp-VS2012-Dark. Thanks to their original efforts!
