Pop Theme

Pop Theme for Zed

A port of the Pop!_OS design language for the Zed Editor.

About

This theme brings the warm browns, electrifying teals, and scintillating tangerines of System76's Pop!_OS to Zed. It is based on the color scheme originally ported to VS Code by ArtisanByteCrafter.

Tips

Pop Theme works much better with Zed's built-in bracket colorisation (so-called "rainbow" brackets). Enable it globally in your settings.json:

{
  "colorize_brackets": true
}
