"I never stopped weaving. I just changed the thread.
From polymer to pixel. From loom to loop."
— Reyhaneh Daneshdoost (reyrove)
Lucent (meaning "glowing with light") is a VS Code theme inspired by textiles, generative art, and the poetry of luminous structures — with a soft, glowing twist. It's for textile engineers who code, creative coders who design, and anyone who treats code like a loom and light like thread.
This theme transforms your editor into a digital loom of light — where every line of code is a luminous thread, every function is a weaving pattern, and every program is a glowing fabric.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| 🔄 Spinning Wheel Cursor | Smooth, animated cursor that feels like a spinning wheel |
| 🧵 Luminous Texture Background | Soft, glowing texture feel in the editor |
| 📊 Thread Count Display | Line numbers show your "thread count" |
