This theme works best with the following settings. Especially if you have the Operator mono font. Add it to your user settings JSON object.
You can also use a custom VSCode Shades-of-Purple icon that I created based on the work of amazing designer Dhanish called VSCode Icons.

In Other Places!I have built other SOP themes for different software. Here’s a list.
Licensed as MIT β [Ahmad Awais](https://AhmadAwais.com/). Thanks to VSCode team at Microsoft for creating such an awesome code editor. Also to the creator of other high contrast themes that served as an inspiration. This theme takes inspiration from many VSCode themes including but not limited to Cobalt themes by Roberto Achar, Ayu, Palenight themes, Dracula themes, etc. Thanks, Dhanish for awesome VSCode icons. And Icons8 for the icons in this readme.
