Note

  • This version not only modified the color scheme but also used variables to manage colors for future easily modification.
  • Due to my own environment settings, I've disabled the ruby features in this theme. To re-enable them, just simply remove the "#" in front of the lines in the function.

  • Patched font for fancy symbols
