 There's only one config either way (`config/nvim/`) — Neovide reads the exact same `init.lua`, so keymaps, plugins, and the LSP setup are all identical between the two. Two things differ between them — cursor animation and background transparency — and the config detects which frontend it's running under (`vim.g.neovide`) and picks the right mechanism for each automatically:
 
-- **Terminal**: [`smear-cursor.nvim`](https://github.com/sphamba/smear-cursor.nvim) draws the animated cursor trail — a terminal has no native equivalent, so this fills that gap. `koda.nvim`'s `transparent` option is on, clearing highlight-group backgrounds so whatever the *terminal emulator* draws behind Neovim shows through — including a background image, if your terminal supports one (e.g. kitty's own `background_image` setting). That's a terminal-level feature this config has no reach into; without it configured on the terminal side, transparency here just shows the terminal's normal background color, which is a harmless no-op look.

 - **Neovide**: uses Neovide's own built-in, GPU-accelerated cursor VFX (`railgun` mode) instead of smear-cursor.nvim — running both at once would be two different animation systems fighting over the same cursor, so smear-cursor.nvim doesn't even load when `vim.g.neovide` is set. For background: Neovide has no background-image setting at all — two attempts to add one ([neovide/neovide#2419](https://github.com/neovide/neovide/pull/2419), [#3067](https://github.com/neovide/neovide/pull/3067)) were both closed as abandoned, most recently in October 2025; the feature request itself ([neovide/neovide#342](https://github.com/neovide/neovide/issues/342)) is still open. `vim.g.neovide_opacity` (set to `0.9`) is the closest real substitute — it makes the whole window translucent, so on a compositing window manager, whatever's behind it (your desktop wallpaper, if Neovide isn't covering the whole screen) blends through. Adjust or remove it in `init.lua` to taste.
 
 Once installed, launch the desktop app with `neovide` from a terminal — if that command isn't found right after setup, open a new shell first (a fresh `rustup` install updates `PATH` via shell startup files, which the setup script's own shell won't have re-read).

 ## Look & feel
 
-- **Theme**: [`koda.nvim`](https://github.com/oskarnurm/koda.nvim) (dark variant), nudged to a near-black background, with custom colors for error/warn/info/hint diagnostic virtual lines.
+- **Theme**: [`vscode.nvim`](https://github.com/Mofiqul/vscode.nvim) (dark variant, VS Code Dark+ palette), on a near-black `#090909` background, with custom tinted backgrounds for error/warn/info/hint diagnostic virtual lines. lualine uses the plugin's own `vscode` theme.
 - **Cursor animation**: an animated cursor trail in both frontends, via different mechanisms — see [Terminal vs. desktop (Neovide)](#terminal-vs-desktop-neovide) for which plugin does what and why.
 - **Dashboard**: `alpha-nvim` start screen with quick actions — find file, recent files, live grep, new file, edit config, quit.
 - **Statusline**: `lualine`, styled with true Powerline arrow separators (the seamless, edge-to-edge kind — between sections, a thinner version between components within a section). Left to right:
