## Description

This project is a collection of themes, layout customizers, and automated installers for Visual Studio Code designed to create a dark-mode workspace aesthetic. It provides a set of dark color palettes and syntax highlighting configurations alongside a CSS UI customizer for modifying the editor's internal interface elements.

The toolkit enables a modern visual design characterized by deep dark backgrounds, floating glass-effect panels, and rounded interface geometries. It utilizes custom stylesheets to alter panel radii, gaps, and sidebar margins, while adding interactive animations such as hover-triggered glow effects and smooth transitions for UI elements.

The project includes automated installers for Windows environments to deploy theme variants and system fonts, as well as utilities for merging theme configurations into existing settings and uninstalling theme-related files.
