Themes

Zed comes with a number of built-in themes, with more themes available as extensions.

Selecting a Theme

You can see what these are installed and preview them from the Theme Selector. You can open the Theme Selector from the command palette with "theme selector: Toggle" (bound to cmd-k cmd-t on macOS and ctrl-k ctrl-t on Linux). Selecting a theme by moving up and down will change the theme in real time and hitting enter will save it to your settings file.

Installing more Themes

More themes are available from the Extensions page. You can open the Extensions page from the command palette with "zed: Extensions". Many popular themes have been ported to Zed, and if you're struggling to choose one, there's a third-party gallery hosted by https://zed-themes.com with visible previews for many of them.

Configuring a Theme

Your selected theme is stored in your settings file. You can open your settings file from the command palette with "zed: Open Settings" (bound to cmd-, on macOS and ctrl-, on Linux).

By default, Zed maintains two themes: one for light mode and one for dark mode. You can set the mode to "dark" or "light" to ignore the current system mode.

{
  "theme": {
    "mode": "system",
    "light": "One Light",
    "dark": "One Dark"
  }
}

Theme Overrides

You can also override specific attributes of a theme, by using the experimental.theme_overrides setting.

For example, to override the background color of the editor and the font style of comments, you can add the following to your settings.json file:

{
  "experimental.theme_overrides": {
    "editor.background": "#333",
    "syntax": {
      "comment": {
        "font_style": "italic"
      }
    }
  }
}

You can see which attributes are available to override by looking at the JSON format of your theme. For example, here is the JSON format for the One themes.

Local Themes

You can store new themes locally, by placing them in the ~/.config/zed/themes directory.

For example, to create a new theme called my-cool-theme, you can create a file called my-cool-theme.json in that directory.

It will be available in the theme selector the next time Zed loads.

You can find a lot of themes at zed-themes.com.
