BedarX Pro
A VS Code theme family built for readable syntax and calm workbench surfaces — published to the VS Code Marketplace with six bold and no-bold variants.
Overview
Most theme collections optimize for looking good in a screenshot. BedarX Pro was designed around actually reading code for hours — calm background surfaces, syntax colors chosen for scanability rather than saturation, and semantic highlighting tuned to stay legible in dense, keyword-heavy languages like SQL, C, and Java.
It ships as three color families — Dark, Light, and Noir — each available in a bold and no-bold variant, and is published as an installable extension on the VS Code Marketplace.
Highlights
- Published and maintained on the VS Code Marketplace as an installable extension.
- Designed six variants — bold and no-bold versions of Dark, Light, and Noir — so the theme adapts to different languages and session lengths instead of forcing one visual style.
- Solved a subtle editor timing issue: VS Code briefly paints TextMate grammar colors before the language server's semantic tokens finish loading, so I tuned both color layers to stay visually aligned instead of flashing between two looks.
- Extracted the same color system into bxp-code, so the syntax colors on this portfolio's code blocks match the actual editor theme.
