mikey- / syntax-neonize

An atom package which makes your favorite syntax theme glow like neon lights!

syntax-neonize

A package which neonizes your syntax theme in atom. Texts of your syntax theme will glow like neon lights!

Important notes:

• This package is not a syntax theme itself: You should choose your syntax theme and this package will neonize the theme.
• This package is designed for dark syntax themes(themes with dark background). Neonization to a light syntax theme might harm the visibility of texts.

Screenshots

The syntax theme used in the screenshots is 'one-dark', which is one of built-in syntax themes of atom. You can choose any other syntax theme to be neonized.

Before apply of neonization

After apply of neonization

(Captured images have slightly different sizes in pixels. There is no font/size/scale difference after neonization.)

Usages

The neonization will be automatically applied after package install. Turn on/off the neonization through either the Command Palette or shortcut below.

Commands & shortcuts

• Toggle neonization through Command Palette: 'Syntax Neonize: Toggle'
• Toggle neonization through shortcut: Ctrl-Alt-Shift-N

Notes & issues

• The background color of syntax theme will get darker to maximize glow effect.
• Neonization won't work if 'textShadow' property is already used by either the syntax theme or any other packages. For example the theme neon-syntax will not be neonized.
