I hate to dismiss Zed for such a stupid reason, but I have tried to use Zed seriously many times and every time I stop because I can't get over the theme. I've tried basically every single theme I can find that is reasonably popular and they are all equally poor. VSCode and Cursor have vastly better default themes.

Does anyone have any suggestions here? I would love to use Zed more.

Does it really not let you change the colors? Am very unhappy at the modern trend to allow only canned themes.

It does, you can make custom themes or use ones made by the community. https://zed.dev/extensions?filter=themes

You could just use the VSCode theme in Zed.

I use "Melange Light". Feels simple and clean, if you like light themes at all.

What's your favorite theme, maybe we can point you to something close? If you have any special needs or usability issues (colorblindness is common), that's probably relevant too.

I use the default theme + the Catppuccin Icon Theme : https://github.com/catppuccin/zed-icons

I really like the default Cursor theme - One Dark is also OK.

Can I replace Vim with Zed? Is there a vim mode?

2.3k issues says enough. License as mentioned by others here equally belongs in the trash. Shameful

I seriously hate this “choose your adventure” way with new IDEs. Just install the language plugin, then spend hours making it work, and then it has crazy bugs anyway. Maybe just ptsd from the Java language server, but I’ve also somehow made editing json files laggy and unresponsive by installing the json language server.

Jetbrains “just worked”, but work isn’t paying for the license anymore because AI so I’ll just bang my head against these plugins.
