Etna Theme for Zed

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 Zed

1. Download the zip with the Download button. Inside is one folder with the theme file ( themes/<name>.json ) and a small extension.toml.
2. Copy the .json file from the themes folder into ~/.config/zed/themes/ ( the same path on macOS and Linux; on a Mac, Shift+Cmd+G in Finder takes you to the path ). If the folder is not there yet, create it.
3. In Zed, open the theme selector with Cmd+K Cmd+T ( Ctrl+K Ctrl+T on Linux ) and pick the theme by name, and the theme is applied.
4. Prefer an extension? In Zed open Extensions, click Install Dev Extension and choose the unzipped folder itself; the theme then shows in the selector the same way.
