Astral Themes for Zed

License: MIT Version Zed Extension Themes

A collection of five carefully crafted themes for the Zed editor. Astral themes are built around a single principle: coding should feel effortless. Every color choice prioritizes readability and reduced eye strain without sacrificing elegance.

Themes

Dark

Astral Eclipse

Deep blue-gray background with a cool, focused palette. Clean syntax colors inspired by the best of modern dark themes.

Astral Solstice

Warm dark tones with a rich brown-charcoal base. For developers who prefer depth and warmth over cold grays.

Design Philosophy

Astral themes are designed for long coding sessions. The guiding principles behind every palette:

  • Reduced eye strain — contrast ratios are tuned to be readable without being harsh
  • Semantic clarity — syntax colors are chosen to make code structure immediately obvious
  • Aesthetic cohesion — UI chrome, editor, and terminal share a unified color language
  • Dark and light balance — both variants are first-class; neither is an afterthought
