Color for the bright and the buried.
A mythic red and violet theme system for editors, terminals, browsers, and AI coding tools.
Website · VS Code Marketplace · Download every port
Angrboða is expressive without shouting and calm without disappearing. Its ember-red and spectral-violet accents sit on a neutral foundation tuned for long sessions. Dark and light modes share one typed source palette, with measured contrast for ordinary text and consistent generated ports.
Install carlssonloke.angrboda from the
VS Code Marketplace,
or download the .vsix from the
latest GitHub release:
code --install-extension angrboda-1.8.1.vsix
# or
cursor --install-extension angrboda-1.8.1.vsixThen choose Angrboda Dark or Angrboda Light from Preferences: Color Theme.
For supported terminals, editors, and AI tools, install directly from npm:
npx angrboda list
npx angrboda zed --dry-run
npx angrboda zedNo global package or project dependency is added. The installer protects
existing files and creates backups only when you explicitly use --force.
Alternatively, download angrboda-themes-1.8.1.zip from the
latest release, or use
the generated files in ports/:
unzip angrboda-themes-1.8.1.zip
cd angrboda
node install.mjs list
node install.mjs zed --dry-run
node install.mjs zedThe installer supports Alacritty, Codex, Gemini CLI, Ghostty, Helix, Kitty, OpenCode, WezTerm, and Zed. It never edits an application's main configuration file.

npm ci
npm run dev
npm run check
npm run package:vsixEdit src/colors.ts and src/theme.ts. The build regenerates both VS Code
themes and every port, keeping the system in sync. See
CONTRIBUTING.md for the project workflow.
Tagged releases are packaged automatically. If repository secrets are present, the same workflow also publishes to the VS Code Marketplace and Open VSX. Each release contains both the editor VSIX and a checksummed ZIP with every generated port, its documentation, and source themes.
Angrboða is the giantess of the Ironwood in Norse mythology—a fitting namesake for a theme that holds light and shadow in the same system.
