✨ Features
- Dark Mode: Deep cyberpunk aesthetics with scarlet red highlights
- Light Mode: Clean, futuristic light variant with scarlet accents
- Blur Variants: Both dark and light themes include three blur intensity levels:
- Light (60% opacity) - Maximum transparency for a subtle blur effect
- Regular (84% opacity) - Balanced blur for everyday use
- Heavy (88% opacity) - Minimal transparency for better readability
- Terminal Support: Carefully crafted ANSI colors based on the Cyberpunk Scarlet Protocol iTerm2 theme
- Syntax Highlighting: Optimized for readability with vibrant cyberpunk-inspired colors
Note: The blur effect may not work on all operating systems. This is a limitation of Zed's window transparency implementation. If you experience issues with blur, please use the standard (non-blur) variants or report issues to the Zed repository.
