This repository provides the 'Dark+ Modern' theme for Notepad++, a complete visual overhaul that replicates the color palette of VS Code's Dark+ and Dark Modern themes. The core deliverable is a single large XML file (`Dark+ Modern.xml`) that defines syntax highlighting styles for over 90 programming languages, along with global editor widget styles (caret, selection, line numbers, folds, etc.). Accompanying files include a Markdown User Defined Language (UDL) definition (`plugins/markdown-dark.xml`), a CSVLint plugin configuration (`plugins/CSVLint.xml`), an automated install script (`install.cmd`), and a comprehensive set of screenshots with sample source files. The theme is not a software application but a configuration artifact; its architecture is a flat XML schema with no code logic, tests, or build system. It is well-documented, actively maintained, and directly installable into Notepad++.

The LLM identified 1 files worth highlighting for reuse:

A User Defined Language (UDL) definition for Markdown that provides syntax highlighting in Notepad++. It demonstrates careful configuration of delimiter nesting (e.g., code spans, bold/italic, links), keyword lists for headings and formatting, and operator definitions for table syntax. This file is self-contained and could serve as a reference for creating UDLs for other lightweight markup languages, or be adapted for editors that support similar UDL formats.
