Zed terminal themes

Zed runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows. All 2037 color schemes export directly to Zed—open any scheme below and the export panel preselects Zed

Platforms
macOS, Linux, and Windows
Website
zed.dev

Open any scheme for an interactive terminal preview with the Zed config tab preselected

Install a color scheme in Zed

  1. Open any scheme page—the export panel preselects Zed so you can copy or download the config
  2. Merge into ~/.config/zed/settings.json (command palette: zed: Open Settings) to override the integrated terminal
  3. Reload your configuration or restart Zed

Download from the command line

Zed does not use a standalone theme folder; merge the color settings into your existing config file as shown above

Example config: Catppuccin Mocha (Zed)

// Theme: Catppuccin Mocha (Zed terminal)
