I hate to dismiss Zed for such a stupid reason, but I have tried to use Zed seriously many times and every time I stop because I can't get over the theme. I've tried basically every single theme I can find that is reasonably popular and they are all equally poor. VSCode and Cursor have vastly better default themes.
Does anyone have any suggestions here? I would love to use Zed more.
- mixmastamyk 5mo agoDoes it really not let you change the colors? Am very unhappy at the modern trend to allow only canned themes.
- KomoD 5mo agoIt does, you can make custom themes or use ones made by the community. https://zed.dev/extensions?filter=themes https://zed.dev/extensions?filter=themes
- xpe 5mo agoWhat's your favorite theme, maybe we can point you to something close? If you have any special needs or usability issues (colorblindness is common), that's probably relevant too. I use the default theme + the Catppuccin Icon Theme : https://github.com/catppuccin/zed-icons https://github.com/catppuccin/zed-icons
- johnfn 5mo agoI really like the default Cursor theme - One Dark is also OK.
- jordyjor 5mo agoI use "Melange Light". Feels simple and clean, if you like light themes at all.
- matternous 5mo agoYou could just use the VSCode theme in Zed.
