Obsidian Theme for Zed

A faithful port of Obsidian's default theme for the Zed editor, in both dark and light variants.

Colors are derived from Obsidian's official CSS variables — the base color palette, extended colors, and the default theme's syntax highlighting mapping:

Obsidian variableZed syntax scope
--code-keyword (--color-pink)keyword
--code-string (--color-green)string
--code-function (--color-yellow)function
--code-value (--color-purple)number, boolean, constant
--code-property (--color-cyan)property, type
--code-operator / --code-tag (--color-red)operator, tag
--code-important (--color-orange)string.regex, preproc
--code-comment (--text-faint)comment
--code-punctuation (--text-muted)punctuation

Themes

  • Obsidian Dark — editor background #1e1e1e, text #dcddde, accent hsl(254, 80%, 68%)
