    Recolor the whole editor UI from a built-in color picker — no theme extension required.

    V3Code’s look is yours to set, right from Settings. No hunting for a theme extension: the color picker is built in.

    Theme Builder

    Section titled “Theme Builder”

    Open Settings → Theme Builder and every part of the editor UI is a color you can pick. Changes apply live as you go. It’s grouped so you’re not staring at a wall of swatches:

    • Accent — Focus/accent (focus rings + primary accent), Links, Badge, Button, Progress/usage.
    • Surfaces — Editor, Sidebar, Bottom panel, Activity bar, Title bar, Status bar, Active tab, Inputs.
    • Text & borders — Text (primary UI text), Muted text (secondary), Borders (separators).

    Each swatch opens a full picker (hex or RGB). Reset puts it back to default.

    Venom animations

    Section titled “Venom animations”

    V3Code shows a subtle venom-green motion while the agent works — the composer beam, the sticky-capsule “snake,” and accent glows. It’s on by default.

    Prefer calm? Turn Venom animations off in Settings for grey-only chrome. It’s recommended if flashing or motion bothers you, and your OS Reduce motion setting turns it off automatically.
