wtf is vscode-theme-ellie?

This repository is a custom color theme for Visual Studio Code called "Ellie." It changes how the code editor looks, the colors of text, backgrounds, syntax highlighting, and other visual elements, so that someone spending hours reading and writing code can do so with a palette they find more comfortable or aesthetically pleasing than the default options. Color themes in VS Code work by mapping different parts of your code (like keywords, strings, comments, and variables) to specific colors, along with setting the overall background and accent colors for the editor's interface. A well-crafted theme makes it easier to visually parse code at a glance, distinguishing between different elements without having to read every word. The theme is built in TypeScript, which is the standard approach for VS Code extensions. The intended audience is developers who use Visual Studio Code and want to personalize their editing environment. Some people switch themes to reduce eye strain during long sessions, especially if they prefer darker or softer backgrounds. Others simply want an editor that feels visually distinct from the out-of-the-box experience. The project is explicitly marked as a work in progress, and the README doesn't go into detail about the specific design choices, color palette, or planned features. At this stage, it appears to be an early-stage personal project that hasn't been widely adopted yet, given its small star count. Someone interested would need to install and try it to see what the theme actually looks like in practice.
