SurpassOne Theme for Zed
A flat, monochrome color theme built on coral tonal hierarchy and grayscale. No rainbow — just shades of coral and gray. Dark and Light variants included.
This is the Zed port of the SurpassOne Theme for VS Code / Cursor.
Design principles
- One color — the only hue used for syntax is coral; everything else is built from shades of gray.
- Flat — borders and shadows are minimized; regions are separated by background tone alone.
- Readability — fewer colors, more tonal steps to keep code legible.
Installation
Open the command palette, run zed: extensions, search for SurpassOne, and install. Then select the theme via theme selector: toggle (or Settings → Theme) and pick SurpassOne Dark or SurpassOne Light.
Local development
To work on the theme without publishing:
- Run
zed: install dev extensionfrom the command palette. - Select this repository's directory.
- Edit
themes/surpassone.json; Zed reloads the theme on save.
Run zed --foreground for verbose logs, or zed: open log to troubleshoot.
