Slatewave for MarkEdit is a TypeScript theme script built on
MarkEdit-theming. It
overrides editor chrome (background, gutter, caret, selection) and
markdown syntax highlighting with the Slatewave palette — no upstream
CodeMirror theme dependency, so the colors stay pure.
Both dark and light variants ship in a single script; MarkEdit follows
the system appearance. Scope it to one mode via
extension.markeditThemeSlatewave.enabledMode in MarkEdit's
settings.json.
