"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.

"I started as a textile engineer — threads, fibers, polymers, the physical poetry of woven structures. Then I fell into algorithms. JavaScript. p5.js. Generative art. Now I live where they collide: weaving logic into texture, and texture into logic."
This theme was created by a textile engineer who codes. Every color is chosen from light, electric threads, and natural dyes, every feature has a textile metaphor, and every line of code feels like weaving with light.
