Color Themes
Lynx Theme Pro includes eight theme variants spanning dark, light, and experimental modes. Each theme is crafted with deliberate color choices to maximize syntax contrast, UI clarity, and long-session comfort.| # | Label | Variant |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1. DARKㅤㅤ(Lynx Theme) | Dark |
| 2 | 2. LIGHT ㅤ (Lynx Theme) | Light |
| 3 | 3. NIGHT ㅤ(Lynx Theme) | Dark |

| 7 | 7. NVIMㅤㅤ(Lynx Theme) | Dark |
| 8 | 8. LIQUIDㅤㅤ(Lynx Theme) 🧪 | Dark + Glassmorphism |
- DARK — The classic Lynx flagship: a deep, neutral dark palette with vivid syntax accents.
- LIGHT — A clean, high-contrast light theme built for bright environments.
- NIGHT — A cooler, near-black dark theme optimized for late-night sessions.
- GHIBLI — A soft, warm light theme inspired by Studio Ghibli’s gentle color world.
- FURY — A bold, high-contrast dark theme with a strong visual identity.
- KIRO — A refined dark theme inspired by the Kiro editor aesthetic.
- NVIM — A terminal-first dark palette drawn from Neovim’s minimalist design language.
- LIQUID 🧪 — An experimental dark theme powered by the Liquid Glass engine; applies real CSS backdrop-filter blur across the entire VS Code UI.
The LIQUID theme is experimental. It injects custom CSS into the VS Code host shell to achieve glassmorphism effects, which causes VS Code to display a one-time “Your installation appears to be corrupt” notice in the status bar. This message is purely cosmetic and does not affect editor functionality or your files in any way.
Icon System
Lynx Theme Pro bundles over 1,280 hand-crafted SVG icons organized into three switchable file/folder icon styles and a dedicated system (product) icon set.File & Folder Icon Styles

System (Product) Icons
Two product icon theme options replace VS Code’s built-in UI icons (activity bar, panel buttons, and similar chrome elements):- Lynx (Material) Icons — A Material Design-influenced system icon set for a clean, modern IDE feel.
- Lynx (Test) Icons — An alternative system icon set for users who want a different visual weight.
Liquid Glass Engine
The Liquid Glass engine is an experimental glassmorphism blur system built on top of VS Code’s theming layer. When the LIQUID theme is active, the extension appliesbackdrop-filter: blur() styling across the editor shell — sidebars, panels, title bars, and activity bar — producing a frosted-glass transparency effect. This feature is powered by a bundled TypeScript runtime (dist/themes/liquid-theme/liquid-theme.js) and activates automatically on editor startup.
