It looks great on the screenshots, but pretty dull and low contrast in VSCode, something is definitely not right. I believe it is due to rgb subpixel aliasing, which shifts the colors on smaller sized fonts.

I’m on a Mac with a Retina display so that’s probably why I haven’t noticed this issue. I don’t know of any way to account for this off hand though, even if I had noticed it.

Is it at least acceptable with the contrast++ version?
