A faithful recreation of Zed's beloved One theme for Visual Studio Code. Because sometimes you need VS Code's extensions, but you refuse to compromise on style.
- 🌙 Dark Mode: Rich, warm colors that won't burn your retinas during those late-night coding sessions
- ☀️ Light Mode: Clean, crisp aesthetics for the daylight warriors
- 🎨 Complete Coverage: Meticulously crafted syntax highlighting for all your favorite languages
- 🖥️ Terminal Colors: Full ANSI color support that matches the editor theme
- 🔧 Semantic Highlighting: Enhanced code understanding with VS Code's semantic token support
- Open VS Code
- Go to Extensions (Ctrl+Shift+X / Cmd+Shift+X)
- Search for "ZED One Theme"
- Click Install
- Go to Preferences > Color Theme and select either:
- ZED One Theme Dark
- ZED One Theme Light
- Download the latest release from GitHub
- Extract to your VS Code extensions folder:
- Windows:
%USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensions
- macOS:
~/.vscode/extensions
- Linux:
~/.vscode/extensions
- Windows:
- Restart VS Code
- Select the theme from Preferences > Color Theme
This isn't just another port. We've carefully analyzed Zed's original One theme and recreated:
- Syntax Colors: Every token type matches Zed's original color palette
- UI Elements: Activity bar, sidebars, tabs, and panels all mirror Zed's aesthetic
- Terminal Integration: Full 16-color ANSI palette that harmonizes with the theme
- Editor Features: Proper highlighting for selections, find matches, and indentation guides
