Neovim default themes for Zed

This is a port of the default Neovim themes made for the Zed editor. It uses the original palette and highlight groups and aims to be as close to the original as possible.

I am by no means good with design and colors. Zed has a lot of UI that Neovim doesn't and I tried to fill in the gaps while being as faithful to the original theme as I could. Input is greatly appreciated.

Besides the original themes, I have added accented versions that are a bit more opinionated.

Usage

Install via Zed Extensions

  1. Open Zed
  2. cmd+shift+p and select zed: extensions
  3. Select Neovim default themes and Install
  4. Select the theme variant you want from the dropdown

Install Manually

  1. mkdir -p ~/.config/zed/themes/
  2. Copy themes/neovim-default.json to ~/.config/zed/themes
  3. Select one of the themes in Zed

Development

  • The original Neovim highlight groups and palette live in default/
  • I made a go program that reads and parses those files and writes the Zed theme to STDOUT. The mapping is done in theme.go with some overrides in main.go. Just run go run . to run the program.
  • Run make build to build the theme and write it to themes/neovim-default.json
