## What it is
Rainglow is a collection of 320+ syntax and UI color themes for JetBrains IDEs (PHPStorm, Webstorm, etc.) and other editors like VSCode, created by Dayle Rees. Themes are distributed as editor plugins and are built on the Material Darker base for JetBrains compatibility.

## Use cases
- change the color theme of my JetBrains IDE
- find new syntax highlighting themes for PHPStorm
- install color schemes in VSCode
- make my IDE look nicer with dark and light themes
- browse a gallery of editor color themes
- customize the appearance of Webstorm

## When to choose
- you want a large variety of curated color themes for JetBrains IDEs or VSCode
- you prefer original themes with light, dark, and contrast variants
- you want a simple plugin install rather than manual theme configuration

## When to avoid
- you need themes for editors Rainglow does not support
- you want actively updated themes with frequent new releases (last release was 2020)
- you need a theme compatible with the latest JetBrains UI without the Material Darker base
