Installation

In Zed, open the Extensions panel (zed: extensions, or cmd-shift-x on macOS and ctrl-shift-x on Linux), search for Living Code, and click Install. Then pick a flavor with theme selector: toggle (cmd-k cmd-t).

Without the registry: run zed: install dev extension and select the repository root of a checkout, or download the theme file into ~/.config/zed/themes/:

mkdir -p ~/.config/zed/themes
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/living-code-theme/zed/main/themes/living-code.json -o ~/.config/zed/themes/living-code.json

The theme file holds all four flavors.

Pull requests are welcome. Keep this README, port.json and images/ in sync, and use real screenshots of the app, never mockups.
