🌌 Ad Astra Theme for Zed

Ad Astra's space-inspired design not only helps you focus on your work and increase productivity but adds a touch of personality and style to your workspace.

The carefully selected contrasting blue and lavender colors improve readability and make your code stand out. The extension includes both:

  • Ad Astra Dark
  • Ad Astra Light

Both variants keep a similar palette, while the light mode is tuned for stronger contrast and readability on bright backgrounds.
