Inspired by Mount Etna's nighttime eruptions, this dark theme builds on an ashen basalt grey base and layers in the incandescent reds, oranges, and golds of molten lava. The near-neutral charcoal surface keeps long sessions calm, while the warm lava accents draw the eye to what matters.
A dark theme from the Codigrate Nature collection, released 2026-06-28. Tags: Ember, Earthy, Cinematic.

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.

From the blog
- Value: How Colors Get Vivid: Value is the V in HSV, the brightness dial that tops out at the pure color, not white. How it differs from lightness, and why designers reach for it.
