Monaspace offers five unique variants, each with variable weight, width, and slant axes:\n\n- **Monaspace Neon** - Neo-grotesque sans (clean and modern)\n- **Monaspace Argon** - Humanist sans (friendly and readable)\n- **Monaspace Xenon** - Slab serif (structured and bold)\n- **Monaspace Radon** - Handwriting (expressive and unique)\n- **Monaspace Krypton** - Mechanical sans (technical and precise)\n\n#### Recommended Settings\n\nAdd to your Zed settings.json:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"buffer_font_family\": \"Monaspace Neon\",\n  \"buffer_font_features\": {\n    \"calt\": true,    // Contextual alternates (texture healing)\n    \"liga\": true,    // Ligatures\n    \"ss01\": true,    // Style set 1 (varies by font)\n    \"ss02\": true,    // Style set 2 (varies by font)\n    \"ss03\": true,    // Style set 3 (varies by font)\n    \"ss04\": true,    // Style set 4 (varies by font)\n    \"ss05\": true,    // Style set 5 (varies by font)\n    \"ss06\": true,    // Style set 6 (varies by font)\n    \"ss07\": true,    // Style set 7 (varies by font)\n    \"ss08\": true     // Style set 8 (varies by font)\n  },\n  \"buffer_font_weight\": 400,\n  \"buffer_font_size\": 14,\n  \"ui_font_family\": \"Monaspace Argon\",\n  \"ui_font_size\": 14\n}\n```\n\n#### Variable Font Axes\n\nYou can customize the font appearance using variable axes:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"buffer_font_weight\": 300,    // 200-800 (Light to Extra Bold)\n  \"buffer_font_features\": {\n    \"wdth\": 100,                // Width: 100-125 (Normal to Wide)\n    \"slnt\": -12                 // Slant: 0 to -12 (Upright to Italic)\n  }\n}\n```\n\n#### Font Pairing Suggestions\n\n- **General Coding**: Monaspace Neon (buffer) + Monaspace Argon (UI)\n- **Data Science/Notebooks**: Monaspace Xenon (buffer) + Monaspace Neon (UI)\n- **Creative Coding**: Monaspace Radon (buffer) + Monaspace Krypton (UI)\n- **Systems Programming**: Monaspace Krypton (buffer) + Monaspace Argon (UI)\n\n### Alternative Font Options\n\nIf you prefer other fonts, the theme also works well with:\n\n- JetBrains Mono\n- Fira Code\n- Cascadia Code\n- Victor Mono (for italic emphasis)\n\n## 🎨 Color Palette\n\nSee [COLORS.md](COLORS.md) for the complete color palette reference.\n\n## ♿ Accessibility\n\n- **WCAG AA Compliant**: All text meets contrast ratio requirements (4.5:1+)\n- **High Contrast Variant**: Enhanced visibility with 7:1+ contrast ratios\n- **Color Blind Friendly**: Tested with deuteranopia and protanopia simulators\n- **Reduced Motion**: No animations, suitable for vestibular sensitivity\n\n## 🛠️ Troubleshooting\n\n### Theme not appearing in Zed\n\n- Ensure you're using the exact theme names: `\"Synthwave84\"`, `\"Synthwave84 Soft\"`, `\"Synthwave84 High Contrast\"`\n- Restart Zed after installation\n- Check that the extension is enabled in Extensions panel\n\n### Colors look different than expected\n\n- Verify your monitor's color profile and brightness settings\n- Some terminals may not support true color - use Zed's built-in terminal\n- Update to the latest Zed version for best compatibility\n\n### Installation issues\n\n- **Linux/NixOS**: Ensure `~/.config/zed/extensions/` directory exists and is writable\n- **Permission errors**: Run `chmod -R 755 ~/.config/zed/extensions/synthwave84`\n- **Manual installation**: Copy the entire theme folder, not just individual files\n\n### Font rendering issues\n\n- Install [Monaspace fonts](https://monaspace.githubnext.com/) for optimal experience\n- Enable font features in settings: `\"liga\": true, \"calt\": true`\n- Clear font cache if using custom fonts: `fc-cache -f -v` (Linux)\n\n## License\n\n[MIT License](LICENSE)\n\n## Credits\n\n- Original Synthwave '84 concept by [Robb Owen](https://github.com/robb0wen/synthwave-vscode)\n- Ported to Zed by DROO\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fhydepwns%2Fsynthwave84-zed","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fhydepwns%2Fsynthwave84-zed","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fhydepwns%2Fsynthwave84-zed/lists"}
