Kalisi Logo

A light theme for long-term usability & eye-care.

  • Pretty high contrast and medium saturation, but avoiding bright whites (most importantly the background: #fafafa)
  • Functional colors to catch attention where necessary, yet still pretty minimal (tried to avoid "color vomit")
  • Optimized for red light filter programs (tested that keywords can be distinguished at as low as 2300K)
  • The red light optimization seems to work as well for deuteranopia (need more feedback on this)

Kalisi is actually a family of themes - it's not the first one and definitely not the last: I port this to every tool that I use sooner or later. More releases depend on public interest.
