Inspired by elegant boulevards and Paris's sunset glow, this dark theme trades bright champagne for dusty rose accents over calm plum-espresso tones and soft dark editor backgrounds. Mauve surfaces and wine-tinted hovers add depth and balance while focus stays clear, with a gentle blush accent guiding attention across the interface.

Getting started on Zed
- Download the zip with the Download button. Inside is one folder with the theme file ( themes/<name>.json ) and a small extension.toml.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
