It may feel even more shallow, but what keeps me on emacs are modus-themes. With luck, you can find a passable theme in your editor/ide of choice, but to find a good, high-contrast light theme is almost impossible.
replyIt's not just you and it's not just Zed. Dark themes tend to be low contrast gray on gray.
replyI usually look for a dark theme that looks good and then make a custom version with darker the background colors and brighter the foreground colors.
Maybe it's time for to start publishing high contrast dark themes instead of just fixing it for myself.
That's what I did: https://github.com/tuzemec/zedokai-darkest-machine
replyI do a lot of markdown editing, techdocs, static site generator, and the gray on gray makes me want to swap back to VSCodium for that task.
replyIt should take less than a minute to install a nice, high contrast dark theme, if you just search for the theme inside the Extensions window in Zed.
replyBut I understand your point, no reason for it not to come with a couple good high contrast dark themes.
Try this one, it’s my recent favourite and very polished: https://zed.dev/extensions/amp-theme
replyThe repo for this theme is no longer available

Yeah unfortunately looks like the maintainer made their stuff private, but it still works, I may republish it if gets removed from the store it’s so good.
replyThe repository link on that page does not work. Is there a preview?
replyYou can see it on vscode themes https://vscodethemes.com/e/hrose.amp-theme/amp-dark
replycan one match themes between two editors given zed uses treesitter?
replyZed generally feels very engineer-designed and not in a good way.
