Just like the rest of the software world, I find myself reading a lot more from the Terminal than writing as AI agents are doing most of my work.

Over the holiday, I decided I needed to make that reading experience more pleasant. So I worked with Claude to create some new terminal themes to make it easier to read:

These use Jetbrains Mono font for readability and ligatures and use color science to create easy to read, calming color schemes.

My eyes have been thanking me

NOTE: These were created and evaluated on a Mac Book Air 15″ and I intended them to be used in full screen, though they look just fine on smaller windows too
