Cursor Inspired Dark

My personal VS Code / Cursor color theme. Lives here so I can sync it across laptops without remembering anything fancy.

Install on a new laptop (the easy way)

git clone git@github.com:aksheyd/cursor-inspired-dark.git ~/cursor-inspired-dark
cd ~/cursor-inspired-dark
./install.sh

That's it. Restart VS Code / Cursor, then:

• Cmd+K Cmd+T → pick Cursor Inspired Dark

The script symlinks this repo into your editor's extensions directory, so any git pull here instantly updates the theme — no rebuild, no reinstall.

By default it installs into both VS Code and Cursor if they exist. To target one:

./install.sh code      # VS Code only
./install.sh cursor    # Cursor only

Updating the theme

Edit themes/cursor-inspired-dark.json, reload the editor window (Cmd+Shift+P → "Reload Window"), and the changes show up immediately.

To share the changes with your other laptops:

git add themes/cursor-inspired-dark.json
git commit -m "tweak colors"
git push

On the other laptop:

cd ~/cursor-inspired-dark && git pull
# Reload Window in your editor

Uninstall

rm ~/.vscode/extensions/cursor-inspired-dark
rm ~/.cursor/extensions/cursor-inspired-dark

Layout

• package.json — extension manifest
• themes/cursor-inspired-dark.json — the actual color definitions
• install.sh — symlinks this repo into your editor's extensions dir
