Warm Burnout

The theme suite for developers who already burned out but still have deadlines.

your eyes deserved this

Warning: eye damage in progress

Your theme is working against you

Most themes look good in screenshots. Then you use them for 14 hours straight and your eyes feel like they have been sandpapered.

The blues, cyans, and purples that make themes look "cool" emit at 450-500nm, the exact wavelength range that suppresses melatonin, triggers digital eye strain, and makes your ophthalmologist wince.

Your theme is fighting your body's ability to rest. Even after you close the laptop.

Warm Burnout strips out almost all blue-spectrum syntax colors. What's left is a fully warm palette (550-630nm dominant) that your retinas can actually survive.

Dark variant: every token meets WCAG AAA (>= 7:1). Light variant: every token meets WCAG AA (>= 4.5:1). Not vibes. Math.
