Miami Theme for Zed

The Codigrate Miami theme for Zed. Preview the screenshot and the palette, then get it in a few steps.

Inspired by the electric nights and pastel sunsets of Miami, this theme blends deep purples with vibrant neon accents to create a bold yet balanced coding environment. Dark, warm backgrounds ground the editor, while vivid pinks, corals, and tropical teals bring energy and clarity to key syntax elements.

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.
