🛠️ Customization

Font Styles

Ninja themes utilize font styles (italic, bold) for semantic highlighting. For the best experience:

1. Use a programming font that supports italics and multiple weights
2. Ensure ligatures are enabled if your font supports them

If you want to customize the theme colors:

1. Make a copy of the theme files
2. Edit the JSON files in the themes directory
3. Adjust colors as needed while maintaining contrast ratios for readability

📋 Accessibility

The Ninja Theme Collection is designed with accessibility in mind:

• All themes meet WCAG AA contrast ratios (4.5:1) for body text and every syntax token; the Ninja Colorblind variant additionally clears AA on the Wong CVD-safe palette
• Inactive line numbers are intentionally muted below 4.5:1 (industry-standard editor convention); the active line number is high-contrast and provides the readable signal
• The Colorblind variant is specifically designed for users with color vision deficiencies
• Strategic use of font styles provides additional semantic information beyond color
• UI elements have distinctive focus states
