Inspired by fallen leaves and late afternoon sunlight, this theme blends soft parchment backgrounds with rust, copper, and harvest gold to create a warm and unhurried coding environment. Light, gentle surfaces keep the editor comfortable, while deep greens and a quiet teal add contrast and focus to key syntax elements.
A light theme from the Codigrate Nature collection, released 2023-10-01. Tags: Cozy, Warm, Earthy.

Getting started on Xcode
- Download the zip with the Download button. Inside are two theme files: one for Xcode 26 ( .xcworkspacecolortheme ) and one for Xcode 16 and earlier ( .xccolortheme ).
- Copy both files into ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/FontAndColorThemes/ ( in Finder, Shift+Cmd+G takes you to the path; create the folder if it is not there ).
- Xcode 26: open Settings → Appearance, click Choose next to Theme and pick the theme under Custom. Xcode 16 and earlier: Settings → Themes lists it after a restart.
- The theme paints the source editor, the console and the documentation view; the window keeps the macOS look.
