ayu is a simple theme with bright colors and comes in three versions — dark, mirage and light for all day long comfortable work.

Font

ayu uses Roboto Mono as main font and it's highly recommended to install it to get monospaced font in filetree. But if you don't have it then the UI theme will downgrade to standard UI font used in Sublime Text.

File Icons

ayu from version 3.0.0 supports customization via A File Icon package. Please install it and restart Sublime for better expereince.
