VS Code
Install "MacVim Classic" from the VS Code Marketplace. Packaging and publishing run from the vscode/ folder, see vscode/PUBLISHING.md.
Zed
The theme lives in zed/themes/macvim.json. To use it locally, link it into Zed's themes folder:
mkdir -p ~/.config/zed/themes
ln -s "$PWD/zed/themes/macvim.json" ~/.config/zed/themes/macvim.jsonThen pick "MacVim Light" or "MacVim Dark" from theme selector: toggle.
The JSON is generated. Edit the palette in scripts/zed/generate.rb and run:
ruby scripts/zed/generate.rbThen refresh the preview image (static/zed.png, rendered from the theme with headless Google Chrome):
ruby scripts/zed/preview.rb- MacVim Light follows
macvim.vimexactly (background=light). - MacVim Dark keeps the same hue families as the original dark variant, but uses brighter X11 shades so text is readable (the original uses Grey50 text, SkyBlue4 strings and DeepPink4 booleans on Grey10).
