Follow system appearance
Merge this into your Zed settings:
{
"theme": {
"mode": "system",
"light": "Olive Green Light",
"dark": "Olive Green Dark"
}
}Optional coding font
The extension changes colors only. Install Fira Code separately if needed and merge these settings to use programming ligatures:
{
"buffer_font_family": "Fira Code",
"buffer_font_size": 18,
"buffer_font_weight": 400,
"buffer_line_height": { "custom": 1.5 },
"buffer_font_features": { "calt": true }
}These settings affect the coding font, not the IDE interface font. Font size is a personal preference and depends on display scaling.
