About this theme

A MarkEdit theme script built on MarkEdit-theming — applies the Slatewave palette to editor chrome, markdown syntax, and code blocks, with matching light and dark variants that follow the system appearance.

Slatewave for MarkEdit is a TypeScript theme script built on MarkEdit-theming. It overrides editor chrome (background, gutter, caret, selection) and markdown syntax highlighting with the Slatewave palette — no upstream CodeMirror theme dependency, so the colors stay pure.

Both dark and light variants ship in a single script; MarkEdit follows the system appearance. Scope it to one mode via extension.markeditThemeSlatewave.enabledMode in MarkEdit’s settings.json.
