Install
Get it into Zed in three steps.
Local install
Use the generated theme file
Build the package, place the generated JSON in your local Zed themes directory, then switch to Santi020k Dark or Santi020k Light inside the editor.
- 1Build
packages/santi020k-zed-theme. - 2Create
~/.config/zed/themesif it does not exist. - 3Copy
santi020k.jsoninto that directory and select the theme in Zed.
The theme is generated from the same palette source as the VS Code release, so future updates stay aligned across editor surfaces.
pnpm --filter santi020k-zed-theme run buildmkdir -p ~/.config/zed/themescp packages/santi020k-zed-theme/themes/santi020k.json ~/.config/zed/themes/santi020k.jsonWhy Zed
Generated from the source palette, not approximated later.
The Zed theme comes from the same core color system as the rest of the Santi020k family, so updates stay consistent instead of drifting between products.
Palette sync
Zed dark and light variants inherit the same canvas, surface, accent, and semantic color intent as the VS Code release.
Minimal install
No extension packaging step is required. Zed reads the generated theme JSON directly from your local themes directory.
Low-noise contrast
The palette stays purple-forward without turning neon. Focus states stay visible while long reading sessions remain calm.
