Atomic Dark

The darkest take on your favorite editor themes.

Atomic Dark is a collection of OLED-optimized editor themes designed for developers who prefer deep blacks, vibrant syntax highlighting, and exceptional readability.

Instead of reinventing great color palettes, Atomic Dark reimagines them with a unified design language—pure black backgrounds, carefully tuned contrast, and polished UI styling across editors.

Whether you prefer the classic One Dark aesthetic, the softness of Rosé Pine, the vibrancy of Material, or the calm pastels of Catppuccin, Atomic Dark brings them together under one consistent experience.

Philosophy

Atomic Dark is built around a few simple principles:

  • OLED-first: Deep black backgrounds that look stunning on OLED displays and help reduce power consumption.
  • High readability: Carefully tuned syntax colors with strong contrast for long coding sessions.
  • Familiar palettes: Inspired by some of the most beloved editor themes while maintaining a cohesive visual identity.
  • Consistent experience: Unified UI colors, panels, terminals, and editor styling across every supported platform.

Theme Collection

Atomic Dark currently includes six variants:

Theme Inspired By
Atomic Dark One Dark / Atom
Atomic Dark Catppuccin Catppuccin Mocha
Atomic Dark Material Material Theme
Atomic Dark Afterglow Afterglow
Atomic Dark Rosé Pine Rosé Pine
Atomic Dark Vague vague.nvim

All variants share the same OLED-friendly UI foundation while preserving the personality of their original palettes.

Supported Editors

Design Language

Every Atomic Dark theme is built on the same visual foundation:

  • Editor Background: #0f1115
  • Panel Background: #12151a
  • UI Background: #15181e

Each variant then layers its own syntax palette and subtle UI accents on top to create a distinct personality without sacrificing consistency.

Contributing

Bug reports, suggestions, and pull requests are always welcome.
