A dark theme inspired by Van Gogh's Starry Night for Visual Studio Code, Cursor, JetBrains IDEs (IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, GoLand, ...) and every VS Code-compatible editor (VSCodium, Windsurf, ...).
Immerse yourself in the beauty and mystery of Van Gogh's Starry Night with this theme. The vibrant colors and expressive swirls of the painting bring your development environment to life, inspiring creativity and focus.
| IDE | How it's distributed |
|---|---|
| Visual Studio Code | Visual Studio Marketplace + Open VSX (.vsix) |
| Cursor | Same .vsix / color-theme JSON — Cursor installs VS Code themes natively |
| JetBrains (IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, GoLand, ...) | JetBrains Marketplace plugin (bin/starry-night-theme-jetbrains.zip) or standalone .icls scheme |
| VSCodium / Windsurf and other VS Code forks | Open VSX |
All instructions can be found at INSTALL.md.
The theme source is a single YAML file (src/starry-night-theme.yml). Everything else is generated:
npm install
npm run build # -> theme/starry-night-theme.json (VS Code / Cursor)
npm run build:intellij # -> bin/jetbrains/* (IntelliJ .icls + .theme.json + plugin zip)
npm run lint # checks theme keys against the current VS Code docs
npm run package # -> bin/starry-night-theme.vsixReleases are tag-driven. From the repo's Actions → Bump Version workflow pick
patch / minor / major, and CI bumps package.json, tags vX.Y.Z and
automatically publishes to every platform:
- Visual Studio Marketplace (with a tag, after the version exists check)
- Open VSX
- JetBrains Marketplace
- GitHub Release with the
.vsixand JetBrains plugin zip attached
Required repository secrets: VSCE_PUBLISHER_TOKEN, OVSX_TOKEN (both needed for
marketplace publishing), JETBRAINS_TOKEN (optional — JetBrains upload is skipped
when unset).
